Enrichment Groups

Enrichment and ‘Messy’ Play Groups give children the sort of freedom and sensory experiences that can’t be replicated in a classroom setting.

Messy Play Group

Ages 1-3 with a caregiver

At this age, children learn primarily through sensory experiences and motor activities. With this in mind, our sessions are designed to provide a range of activities that engage all the senses. Through exploring various sights, smells, textures, tastes, sounds, and opportunities for movement, you and your child will be able to fully immerse yourselves in the enriching world of sensory play… and get pretty messy too!
