AGES 2 year olds and those turning 2 with an Adult

This unique experience is designed to inspire young minds and lay the foundation for storytelling and writing (yes, writing starts with storytelling).

 

Christianne, an expert in parent and toddler education, has been working with families for over 30 years. Her training as a pedagogical in Reggio-inspired centres positions her well for engaging with the diverse queries young families face. Her experience as a seasoned storyteller draws the attention of the wiggliest toddler.

Don’t miss this opportunity for your toddler to experience magical growth in all areas of development.

For the first 50 minutes of each session, Christianne will share her expertise with parents over tea and coffee, discussing essential topics like:

 

  • Nurturing early literacy

  • The power of storytelling in parenting

  • Connecting storytelling with writing

  • Diversity and literacy

  • Linking number and text literacy

  • Books for different learning styles

  • Must-have books for every home


While parents engage in insightful discussion, toddlers enjoy free play with two dedicated educators. Afterwards, parents rejoin their little ones for an interactive storytime with Christianne, followed by a miniature tea party with real china! Together, you’ll create art or story props, fostering social interactions, a love for stories, and creativity through high-quality art materials.
