Parent Toddler Classes:

For children 20 to 36 months, Hummingbird Preschool Program offers a Parent-Toddler class on Monday, or Friday mornings in Montague Center. The Parent-Toddler class can be a wonderful way to introduce children to a class-room experience. With a parent’s one-on-one support, children will become familiar with the preschool environment, learn about making new friends and being a member of a group and other related social skills. Learning to take turns, being careful of others’ feelings, verbally expressing wants and opinions to others, and showing care for work and play materials, are the areas of focus for children in this class. Parents will be introduced to the Highscope model of conflict resolution: a tool for helping toddlers and preschoolers to work productively with conflict. This class meets weekly for a two hour session. The time is divided up to include play time, an arts and crafts project, a morning snack and a musical circle time. Class size is limited to 5 children with their parents/caregivers. Classes run for eleven weeks on Mondays or Fridays, from 9:30 to 11:30. Tuition is $120.
