Have you Joined Us For Little Explorers? |

From dinosaurs to the beach to the farm, our little explorers have been busy! There are lots of activities to explore, including water play, sensory play, and art. This is a great opportunity for all children -- whether they need support with their communication or not. Parents are also given a skill they can try to practice during our class to encourage language development in a fun, low-pressure, child-led way! |
