As a working mom, I know how much group learning benefits the development of my child. I love seeing the advancements my daughter makes while learning how to play and interact in a group and watching other children inspire my daughter to try new things. It’s wonderful that she has these experiences in a school environment during the work week. I also believe that attending learning classes and activities together brings her to new environments and creates a bond with us as we explore new things together.
Weekend “mommy [which as we all know means parent] and me” classes can be a little more scarce, but are a great opportunity to meet other parents who likely work during the week, spend quality time with my daughter, all while trying something new! From dance and singing, to active play, there’s plenty of options for all types of mini personalities, and ways for moms and dads to get in on the fun!
