Tiny Friends
Join us for a Caregiver + Tot class!
Tiny Friends is a caregiver and child class that offers babies and toddlers engaging opportunities to learn through play while providing a community of peers for adult caregivers. All children 6 months to 2.5 years old are welcomed to join in stories, songs, and exploratory play experiences. With an emphasis on nature, and focusing on simple invitations to engage, the Tiny Friends class encourages children to interact with a variety of learning materials and immerse themselves in sensory activities as caregivers guide them through the important work of very young children: to observe, explore, play!
Introducing Tiny Friends II
Tiny Friends II is a new class specifically designed to meet the needs of our growing community. Families who have completed a full year of Tiny Friends as well as families who have children between 2-3 years old can consider attending our extended version of the Tiny Friends program. Meeting for just under 2 hours with a caregiver, children will enjoy snack time and extended periods of play. To learn more about the program, please reach out to tinyfriends@ridgewoodfriends.org
