Join us for a high-energy, laughter-filled class where you and your child will get moving, bond, and dive into the world of creative play! Through fun theater games, silly voices, and active partner activities, you’ll both explore together, building confidence, autonomy, and social skills—all while having a blast! This isn’t just playtime: it’s an opportunity for your child to engage and enjoy their creativity and imagination. Please wear comfy, stretchy (but not baggy) clothes so you and your child can move freely. Parents/guardians must stay with their child for the duration of the class.
