Wee Play Class Descriptions

Wee Play’s goal is to provide innovative, caring, and fun opportunities for parents and children to play together. A Wee Play teacher leads each of the age-appropriate activities, while the parent tailors the content for their own child’s needs. Wee Play organizes all activities, and children bring their natural instincts and curiosity. For parents, Wee Play offers the convenience of a well-planned and rewarding class of educational playtime with their children.

Classes meet once per week for 10 weeks.

Wee Play Toddler (walking or almost walking - 20 months)

This active class for toddlers begins with a segment of manipulative play with mostly natural containers and materials - wooden and metal bowls, bells, pegs, metal cups, pom poms and tubes for children to do what comes naturally to them - fill, measure, dump, and explore (Heuristic Play). Then, it's time for segments of large motor play with balls, hoops, ride-on toys, the parachute and our other active play equipment. Pefect for their age and abilities. After a short circle time with lap rides and finger plays we chase, track and pop bubbles. Our goodbye song signals it is time for hand stamps and blowing kisses.

(45 minutes)

At this age, many children are ready for the gentle structure a Pee Wee class provides. Classes are theme based; the circle time and art project may reflect a weekly theme. Pee Wee classes combine 5 segments in each class.

Wee Play (2s and 3s), (2 - 5 year olds)

Our original and most popular class - often referred to as "preschool prep." We hear our Wee Players wake up many mornings asking if it is a "Wee Play" day! So much fun - a very special time for parents or caregivers and their children to spend together. The consistency of the format and the routines helps to develop school readiness.
