FAMILY PROGRAMS
Discovery Zone (Ages 6-18 Months)
Bi-weekly group for you and your baby, six to eighteen months old. The early years of a child’s life are very important for their health and development. Healthy development means that children of all abilities, including those with special health care needs, are able to grow up where their social, emotional and educational needs are met. Having a safe and loving home and spending time with family―playing, singing, reading, and talking―are very important. Proper nutrition, exercise, and rest also can make a big difference. We look forward to having you join us!

Tick Tock Toddler Time (Ages 18-36 Months)
Biweekly group for you and your child aged 18 months to 3 years. When parents and caregivers talk, sing and read to and/or with their child, links among the child’s brain cells are strengthened and new cells and links are formed. The activities at Tick Tock Toddler Time support your child’s development in all areas and support you in this important task. Learn and practice interactive activities to support your child’s development.

Coping With Change
A series of 5 sessions once a week. Many women anticipate feelings of happiness with the birth of their baby. New mothers are often surprised by other feelings such as fatigue, sadness, anger, inadequacy, fear or anxiety. It is normal to go through an adjustment period following childbirth – all new mothers experience an adjustment in their own way.
The Coping with Change series helps mothers work through the emotional and lifestyle changes that occur after the birth of a baby. Participants learn how to cope with adjustments and recognize if more support is needed.
