Baby & Toddler ClassesEarly Language Playgroup

Early Language Playgroup is a 60-minute small-group class that provides group language instruction followed by playtime inspired by the class theme.

We start with 10-15 minutes of whole-group Language Learning time where the speech-language pathologist coaches parents through the language strategy of the day. Then, we apply this strategy to open play alongside baby and toddler peers.

Play activities include sensory bins, pretend play, fine & gross motor activities, and/or arts and crafts. The speech therapist will work with the parents and children during open play to model and practice early language skills.

Early Language Playgroup is open to babies and toddlers ~6 months through 3 years old. This is a prime window for early language development and we want to provide as much play-based support as possible!

If you’re interested in attending and your child’s age is outside of this window, please send us a message and we’ll discuss!

Early Language Playgroup provides a language-rich environment to practice early language skills in, led by a speech-language pathologist. However, it is not a replacement for 1:1 speech therapy that targets your child’s specific language development needs and goals.

Classes would be a great addition to individual speech therapy if you’re looking for a fun, social environment to practice functional language skills in! Playgroup is appropriate for all levels of language development.

Class activities are beneficial to all early language learners at any level of development. This includes families who currently receive speech therapy, have language development concerns but do not receive speech therapy, and children who have strong language skills.

All children benefit by expanding their current language skills and building social skills with their peers.

Yes! Repetition is extremely important to early learning. Themes will occasionally repeat to allow for repeated exposure to similar vocabulary and concepts. If you have a favorite class you want to see more often, or want to request a theme, send us a message!
