Imagine what it might feel like if you were able to make sense of what your child was really asking from you. This program is based on decades of research about how secure parent-child relationships can be supported and strengthened.

Parents and children (2-5 years old). If you want to encourage your child’s imagination and creativity, come join us on an exciting adventure to find a bear. On our journey, we will encounter many different terrains. We will swish through a grassy slope, swim through a deep cold river, sludge through thick oozy mud, run through a deep dark forest, and walk through a swirling snowstorm. We will eventually reach a narrow, gloomy cave where we come face to face with a bear, who chases us all the way back home. We will act out the story with movement, create fun crafts and eat a yummy snack to our adventure.
