“Our kiddos are learning, adapting, and growing, quickly and fiercely. As parents, you’ve also navigated raising your little ones through unique (and sometimes uncertain) times. This workshop will inform how the mission and philosophy of the Collective Kind supports your child’s development and playful learning. Through a community and nature based orientation, in an anti-biased and child-led environment, you will learn about childrens’ daily experiences at Collective Kind. Additionally, we will provide insight on how we establish safety and support development during Covid-19, and how we seek to nurture the individual needs and strengths of each child.”
