Music, Art, and Guided Play for Toddlers (Tuesday Caregiver and Me Series)

Join The Hudson School's facilitated playgroup for toddlers and their caregivers. Children will experience a simple routine that includes play with friends, circle time with singing and stories, followed by a Reggio Emilia-inspired arts activity (paint, clay/dough, drawing, collage, etc.) in a safe and joyful environment that honors and encourages the innate curiosity of children. Adults will support the children's learning and get to know other local families as well.

We will hear stories and sing songs together, try simple art techniques, and learn how to share, take turns, and follow a simple school-like routine.
