Join us each month for Coffee Talk—a relaxed and welcoming space where parents can connect, learn, and engage with our community. Over coffee and conversation, you’ll hear from a variety of speakers including our dedicated staff, child development specialists, and Brook and Mick! Topics will center on parenting, child development, and the social-emotional learning that guides our preschool philosophy and our campus. Come with questions or simply come to listen. We look forward to growing together.
Unless otherwise specified, we’ll meet in the movement room for about 45 minutes after drop off.
