Child/Caregiver Classes

Guiding Growth classes are a nurturing environment designed to foster each child's natural curiosity and development while providing adults with valuable insights into early childhood education.

A carefully designed space filled with developmentally appropriate materials that engage the baby or toddler’s senses, encourage exploration, and provide opportunities for language exposure and learning.

Enhanced child development

Exposure to developmentally appropriate activities can support the child’s cognitive, social, emotional, and physical growth.

Increased caregiver knowledge

Learn about child development, Montessori principles, and practical parenting strategies.

Community building

Connect with other parents and caregivers in a supportive environment.

The Guiding Growth community has been an absolute joy to be a part of. The warm environment is filled with beauty, love, and dedication to our children’s development. We’re able to laugh, learn, and grow together, and I look forward to each week! - Jocelyn (Parent in Caregiver Class)
