List of 6 items.

  • Developmental Stages Classes: Cuddlers, Scooters, & Cruisers (0-13 Months)

    As you and your infant get to know one another, the primary goal of these three, progressive parent and me classes is to create meaningful connections. Beginning with our youngest children in Cuddlers, you will learn strategies around sleep, introducing first foods, and more. In Scooters, as your child becomes more independent, they will start to interact with the world around them. Cruisers continue on the journey of parenthood together.

  • Music Class (6 Months-2 Years)

    Parents and children kick off their shoes and sing together in this fun and creative music class. We will explore Jewish and secular rhythms and beats through instruments and dance. Come join the fun!

  • Play Creations (6 Months-2 Years)

    Play Creations parent and me sensory classes are a mix of music, sensory experiences and art. Each class begins with music and instrument play. Some songs offer whole body movement and others work on impulse control. Then we move on to a weekly sensory or art project, with instructor one-on-one time with each family.

  • Shoo Bop Shabbat (6 Months-2 Years)

    Traditions are established and memories are built as we celebrate Shabbat through music, movement, and storytelling. Children and parents share in the beauty of the blessings of the candles, grape juice, and challah.

  • L’dor Vador Grandparents Shabbat (6 Months-2 Years)

    Children enjoy a special Shabbat connection with their grandparents, strengthening the bond from generation to generation. Classes will emphasize the values of tzedakah, friendship, the sacredness of Shabbat, and infuse a love of Judaism for both grandparent and child. Sensory activities will also be included to stimulate your child’s mind and heart. Get ready to sing and celebrate Shabbat together!

  • Mini Toddlers (14-20 Months)

    This is an opportunity to engage in an intimate (approx. 12 children), play-based, classroom setting with parents present. The class incorporates music and sensory play, as well as gross motor play on our climbing equipment. Parent education will also be provided to discuss different developmental topics.
