Willow Children's Garden - A Lifeways Early Childhood Centre in Aurora, Ontario
 

Joyful Beginnings - A program for Parents and Infants.

This is a facilitated, weekly playgroup for up to seven parents and their babies up to 18 months old.  Parents meet and share experiences as they joyfully begin their path of parenting and strengthen their natural ability to nurture.

We will observe the babies' self-initiated learning through movement as they freely explore the safe, warm environment filled with simple toys, interact with each other, and gain control of their bodies.

We will discover an holistic approach to nourishing and protecting the foundation for your child's future development.

We will learn songs and finger games to share with your baby during care giving moments such as diapering, bathing and putting to bed.
