FAQs

Is a caregiver required to be with their child throughout the class?​
Caregivers stay for the class because it's a learning experience for you, too! You’ll get simple, practical strategies to support your toddler’s communication during play at home.
​
Who would benefit from this class?
This class is especially supportive for toddlers who are:

  • working on developing their first words, and/or

  • beginning to combine words into simple phrases

Oftentimes, these skills are developed around 12 months- 24 months, but we welcome children of different ages if they are a good fit for the group!

The activities are designed to meet children right where they are. 
​
What if my child is shy, active, or has a short attention span?
That’s totally normal at this age! The class is designed with toddler development in mind- movement, warm-up time, and exploration are all expected.
​
Can my child participate if they already receive speech therapy?
Absolutely. Group classes can be a wonderful addition to your child’s speech therapy, offering more chances to practice skills in a playful, interactive environment that supports their early intervention goals.
​
Will there be opportunities to ask the speech therapist questions?
Yes! Caregivers are welcome to ask questions at any point during class, and we always leave the last 5 minutes to recap strategies and chat through any additional questions.
