Join us on March 28th, from 10:30 to 11:30, for a joyful and engaging class designed for babies, toddlers, and their caregivers! Music & Motion blends tummy time, music, and movement to support early development in a fun, relaxed setting. Each session includes songs, mini instruments, and gentle guided movement — followed by time to connect with other parents over coffee and snacks. 

Whether you’re a new parent or looking to build your village, this is a great space to bond, play, and grow together. 

This service is for babies and toddlers with Down syndrome who are 6 months- 3 years old and caregivers. 

Rhythm & Play on March 28th, from 12:45 to 2:00pm, invites young children to move, groove, and explore, alongside their parents, in a fun, developmentally supportive environment. Each session begins with upbeat music and simple dance movements that build coordination, balance, and body awareness. Children will sing, stretch, and move their bodies creatively as they follow along with guided rhythm activities. 

Designed for all abilities, this class encourages social connection, creativity, and joyful movement—helping children build important skills while having a blast.

This group will consist of structured activities and semi-structured free time to help self-advocates age 12-18 build relationships with friends, spend time in their community, and practice a variety of skills.
