Make Connections
Family events are a foundational part of ABC. The standard support and therapy that the Early Start programs provide is invaluable and we are proud to be part of that. However, from the very beginning, we knew we wanted to go beyond the standard. We aim to help build and be a part of a vibrant community where we all feel included, energized, and uplifted. Our family events are a big part of that goal.
These themed play dates create a space for all of us to socialize and connect. In addition to providing socialization opportunities for young children, parents are also encouraged to visit and share while interacting with their children and teachers. Each event offers several ways for little ones to explore and expand. We include activities that are naturally geared toward practicing communication, motor, and cognitive skills.
We hope we spark your creativity. We have so much fun with these events and we think our enthusiasm shows in the variety of activities provided. It is interesting to see how each child responds to new experiences: What was the most interesting to them? What gave them the most opportunity to grow? Many of the activities we set up can be duplicated by you or your ABC teacher at home, as well. Ask Assigned teachers and specialists about any upcoming events.
