Parent-Child Class

Our Parent-Child Program welcomes parents and caregivers with children from birth to three years of age. Classes meet once a week for two hours throughout the fall, winter, and spring, offering a gentle introduction to the natural world and an opportunity for young children and their caregivers to connect, explore, and grow together.

Rooted in the rhythms of nature and the changing seasons, our mornings unfold at an unhurried pace. Children enjoy free play in an outdoor space thoughtfully designed for our youngest explorers, while parents and caregivers have the opportunity to participate in seasonal crafts, sometimes alongside their children, and connect with one another. Together, we explore our woodland trails, gather for a wholesome, organic snack, and share songs, movement, and puppet stories during circle time.

Just as importantly, our Parent-Child Program offers a welcoming community where parents and caregivers can build friendships, share experiences, and find support during the early years of parenting.

Through play, exploration, and the simple joys of being outdoors together, children begin to develop a sense of wonder, confidence, and belonging. For families who continue on to our small, Mixed-Age Kindergarten Program, these early experiences also provide a familiar and comforting introduction to Westbrook's rhythms, traditions, and strong sense of community.
