Our Programs

A community for children and caregivers to build a creative relationship with one another, over the course of a 6-week session. Through 6 thoughtfully curated, sensory rich experiences including dry and messy sensory bins, playdough and collage tables, and action and paint exploration stations we practice open ended play through a child-led model to encourage creativity, dramatic play and problem solving. You will be sharing moments of joy and creating magical memories throughout this session. Caregivers will leave with an understanding of the benefits of sensory play and tips on how to encourage this journey together at home.

Word Explorers is a hands-on, parent-child class focused on promoting language development through sensory-motor activities and caregiver coaching! This class is led by a licensed speech-language pathologist, Rachel Gorman of Every Mind Speech , and emphasizes the exploration of Colors and The Five Senses through open-ended, child-led play.

Children will have the opportunity to regulate their bodies and minds in the sensory playroom (think climbing, and jumping), explore and create with a variety of themed textures and materials in the art room, and engage in hands-on music and movement experiences. Once regulated and moving, children will have a greater capacity to make connections between experiences and words.

Children are invited to play with or alongside others, make choices, take turns, self-advocate, problem-solve, and explore without judgment, criticism, or correction. In doing so, they will gain independence and confidence, develop social-language skills, and build a trusting and creative bond with their parent or caregiver.

Caregivers will walk away with a new understanding of “play,”, strategies for speech and language development, and new ideas about how their child learns and processes sensory information.

This class has a clinical language focus. It works well for children ages 2-4 who are “late talkers”, have only a few words or sounds, have difficulty combining words in novel ways, or communicate using scripts or echolalia. This is a wonderful experience for any VIP caregiver: parents, nannies, babysitters, guardians, or family members (i.e., grandparents). This aims to be a safe, neurodiversity-affirming environment, where parents and caregivers need not fear if their child “stims” physically or verbally, experiences dysregulation, plays “differently,” or has a hard time with transitions, new people, and new environments. All children are welcome regardless of neurotype or developmental level!

This collaborative experience, is a unique offering to bring your entire family of all ages into the studio to collaborate on an oversized canvas! Under the guidance of Ms. Rosie, I will work with you to create a masterpiece in the color scheme of your choice, using acrylic paint, unusual painting techniques, and methods to get your entire group involved and engaged. Family sessions happen once a month and are limited to 3 families per session. Each family will have their own set up, a table for BYOB or snacks and all the materials included.
