Children and parents attend together and participate in a curriculum designed around the Minnesota Early Learning standards. Activities are designed for fun and learning under the guidance of a licensed early childhood teacher. While the children develop their social, emotional, physical and cognitive skills, parents meet separately for parent education with a licensed parent educator. Since children are at different levels of development at varying ages, they learn from on e another as they play, interact and develop skills. For children born Sept 1, 2015 - Nov 30, 2016.
