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)

Child/caregiver class
Birth through Toddler
(0-36 months)
Join our weekly class, which focuses on supporting the first three years with a carefully prepared environment that allows your child to explore and practice skills that foster independence. Written information will be shared on various areas of development (gross and fine motor, language, social/emotional), sensory exploration, fostering independence at home, toileting, sleep, and eating, based on the group's interests and the children's developmental stages. This class is designed to build community and help parents and caregivers feel supported and confident. You will gain a concrete understanding of the Montessori approach by experiencing it in practice!
