Infants Caterpillars

2-6 months

This weekly class is designed for infants ages 2 to 6 months, either by August 31st or by the time they are enrolled. Parents or caregivers attend with their little ones for a 90-minute session, which offers an exciting introduction to the preschool environment. Through a variety of sensory activities and playful interactions, infants are gently introduced to new sounds, sights, and social experiences, all within a nurturing and supportive setting.

This class not only stimulates early development but also provides caregivers with valuable insights into child development and parenting techniques. It’s a fantastic opportunity to meet and connect with other families in a warm, community-centered atmosphere.

The first day of class is on October 3, 2025.

For the safety of all participants, infants must have received their first round of vaccinations prior to attending class, unless an exemption applies.
