Parent-Child Classes
Parents and Children Ages 2 months to 18 Months Old
Our parent-child classes provide a purpose-built environment designed to foster the development of infants/young children and their relationship with their parents or caregivers. These classes focus on creating a supportive community where parents can engage with their children in a respectful and enriching way.
We provide two different parent-child classes based on age and developmental needs:
- Parent-Infant Classes for infants 2 months - 10 months old
- Parent-Mover Classes for infants 10 months - 18 months old
Benefits of our Classes
Parent Child Interaction
Parents actively participate in activities alongside their children, creating a strong foundation for communication, trust and attachment.
Developmental Materials
Our materials are carefully selected to stimulate the senses, encourage exploration and support the natural development of motor skills, cognitive abilities and language acquisition.
Observation & Guidance
Assistants to Infancy are present to observe the interactions between parents and children and offer guidance and support as needed. They provide insights into child development and offer tips for creating a purpose-built home environment that supports the child’s growth and development
Respect for Individual Pace
Our classes respect each child's pace of development. The focus is on supporting each child's natural progression and providing them with the freedom to explore and learn at their own pace.

Frequently Asked Questions
Please reach us at thebestforthesmallest@gmail.com if you cannot find an answer to your question.
This parent-child class is designed as an 8-week session. To help your child get the most out of the activities and interactions, we encourage committing to attend all sessions.
We understand that sometimes things come up. If you know in advance that you'll miss a session, just let us know. Consistent attendance helps everyone get the most out of the program.
To keep our class comfortable for everyone, we ask that only one caregiver attends each session with the child. We appreciate your understanding in helping us manage the space effectively.
Come prepared to engage and participate with your child. Dress comfortably and be ready to move around!
