Children learn best through play experiences, which are essential to a child's growth. We will look at the amazing benefits of play in childhood, engage in playful activities with our children, and learn how to set up beneficial play activities at home. Come prepared to laugh and enjoy your child's play and even have fun yourself! This is a non-separating class. EdVenture Club offers on-site childcare for children/siblings of program participants at the Handke Center location. For more information or to register, please click here: Program Participant Care.
