Play to Grow

Thursday, December 21, 11:00 AM - 12:00 PM

The Village South Jersey- Haddonfield

Come our and Play to Grow with Chelsie Young, Child Development Specialist For babies and children, play is their work. Play is how babies learn. In this class, caregivers and their babies will find ways to interact using simple songs, fingerplays, and household materials. Each week, we will review a different area of development - cognitive, communication, social-emotional, and physical development, and how to incorporate play. By stimulating baby’s senses with play we can foster strong relationships with caregivers, more restful sleep, and an overall happier baby. This class will provide parents with information and activities to implement at home while meeting other new parents to become part of a community of mindful caregivers. Babies are welcome in this class!
