Early Childhood Play

Enriching your child’s early years by sharing in weekly parent and tot activities.

For parents and caregivers of children 0-6yrs of age. Join our parenting community as we come together to share experiences through play and socialization.

Over the next 5 weeks we will be diving into the world of emotions, with a special guest presenter from Leduc County. Kimochis help parents teach their children about emotions by transforming abstract feelings into tangible, playful characters like Cloud, who is moody, or Bug, who is shy. These tools provide a "common language" for families, allowing children to identify and express complex emotions in a healthy way.

*Free, located in the Rec Complex Fieldhouse
