In-Person Parent-Child Play Groups
Located in Sunnyside, Queens, NY
Welcome to our in-person parent-infant classes, a nurturing space where child-led play merges with respectful parenting techniques!
The hour-long sessions offer a safe, open-play environment where children can freely explore and hone their gross and fine motor skills. Meanwhile, parents are invited to relax and enjoy this unique opportunity to observe their children’s development.

Join us to deepen your bond with your child, connect with other local parents, and gain invaluable insights to develop your respectful parenting style.

Infant and Crawlers - Fridays at 9:30AM
Join us in a nurturing environment tailored for infants (approximately 4 - 12 months old) who are experiencing new milestones like turning to their side, learning to roll over, creeping, or crawling. Our classes encourage exploration, free movement, and play, fostering your child's development. Parents engage in insightful discussions about nurturing your child's development through independent play and how to respond to your child's evolving needs and preferences.
Young Toddler - Saturdays at 9:30AM
This enriching class is tailored for toddlers (approximately 12 - 24 months old) who are pulling to stand, newly walking, or independently exploring their surroundings. This safe and engaging environment supports your child's burgeoning independence and motor skills. For parents, our discussions revolve around handling temper tantrums, navigating big emotions, mitigating power struggles, and establishing healthy boundaries at this pivotal stage of early development.
Mixed Ages - Sundays @ 9:30AM
Come explore our nurturing environment designed for infants and toddlers (4 months - 24 months old) as they embark on their developmental journey! This mixed-age setting encourages social and cognitive development, allowing younger children to learn from older peers and older children to develop empathy and leadership skills. Parents will also engage in insightful discussions with fellow parents on nurturing their child's development from infancy through toddlerhood.
Note: The age recommendations for each class are flexible and more aligned with developmental stages than strict months. We recognize that each child follows their unique developmental timeline. Our aim is to create an environment that appropriately challenges and supports your child's individual growth.
