Sharing in the Fun and Learning with your Child
Making the most of class together
Miss Laura’s classes are designed for children and caregivers to enjoy together. Your child learns by watching you, so come ready to move, sing, play, and give things a try! If you have a baby in your arms or a stroller, join in as much as you comfortably can.
Stay close to your child. Please try to remain within about three feet of them during class, especially when we’re moving around. If your child is a runner, stay close enough to help them explore safely.
Keep your attention on class. You’re welcome to take a few photos of your own child, but please keep your phone use brief. Before sharing a photo that includes another child, please check with that child’s caregiver.
Give your child time to warm up. Some children jump right in; others prefer to watch first. Sitting together at the side, pointing out what’s happening, and trying an activity when they’re ready are all ways to participate. A child who seems quiet in class may surprise you by singing the songs or teaching the activities to their stuffed animals at home! Often, after a few visits, the routine starts to feel familiar.
Help your child when they need guidance. I’ll use gentle, creative language to invite children into an activity, and I’ll look to you to help with your child’s behavior and safety. If either of you needs a break, feel free to step out and come back when you’re ready.
Most of all, enjoy this time together. Your child doesn’t have to do every activity for class to be worthwhile. They’re watching, listening, learning, and growing at their own pace!
Come Run, Jump, Sing, Dance, Move and Play!
