Program

The Parent & Me class gently introduces children to routines, social connections, and a sense of belonging. Parents gain insight into their child's early development while participating in meaningful play. A new program for Phoenix, Scottsdale, and Paradise Valley families. It's the perfect first step into our coop preschool.​

​

Our Parent & Me class is inspired by the Reggio Emilia approach, which sees every child as capable, curious, and full of potential. Children learn through hands-on exploration, repetition, and meaningful interactions with people and materials. Rather than structured lessons, we provide open-ended materials and experiences that allow children to explore, create, and discover at their own pace.

​

This shared parent-child experience supports both the child's growth and the parent's confidence in nurturing curiosity, independence, and meaningful play. ​

​

Children in the class may:

• Explore materials at their own pace

• Repeat actions to build understanding

• Observe and interact with other children

• Begin to develop comfort in a group setting

• Optional outdoor play for additional movement and exploration

​

Parents in the class benefit from:

• Connecting with other parents and building a supportive community

• Learning how to set up a successful play environment at home

• Observing and working alongside an experienced teacher who provides guidance on early childhood development and play-based learning​​​
