Parent - Child Classes

Ages 18 mos. and Up

The Wonder Studio Parent (or a loving caregiver) and Child classes are Arts and Science based Early Childhood classes.

We offer 12 Week Sessions in both the Fall (September - December) and the Winter/Spring (January - April).

Summer classes are shorter sessions offering flexibility for vacations/travel.

You pick your day/time (based on the schedule offered) and come to your class each week with the same group of adults and children. See the FAQ: Why we don’t do drop-in classes during our weekly sessions here.

Each class is one hour.

The routine of the class is completely guided and facilitated by your Wonder Studio teacher and follows this structure:

• Entry - greeted by teacher - Children take off shoes - put items in cubby - wash hands.

• Play time - the children can freely roam/choose from 5-7 different experiences that the teacher has intentionally prepared for the group. Our Wonder Studio curriculum has adapted and evolved over the past 15 years. It is a living and active curriculum based on the needs and desires of the children we have enrolled. It begins sequentially and grows and changes based on the observations of the teachers and adults . The curriculum is heavily guided by the interests of the children. Learn more about our Unique - one of a kind curriculum here.

• Clean Up Time - this is a teaching time where the children and adults are gently and mindfully guided with techniques for transitions and clean ups that can impact your child for their entire lifetime. We look at clean up as one of our most important times at Wonder Studio. See more on clean up time here.

• Circle Time - our group gathers to Sing our Wonder Studio songs (which you and your children will never forget ;) and the teacher adds in (when she feels the group is ready) one of the other Arts - Dancing, Storytelling, Puppetry.

• Good bye - children are invited to say goodbye in whatever way they are comfortable with. A wave, a handshake, a look, a hug. Like the Entry greeting, we believe that Hello’s and Goodbye’s are key in building the relationship between the teacher and the child and is a key piece to our Belonging curricula. See more here.
