Play & Learn with Niña

Play & Learn with Niña

Tuesdays, 9:30- 10:30 AM

Play is hard work! Each time a child engages in play, they have the opportunity to develop and practice new skills. Join Includ(Ed)’s Director of Education and Family Support, Niña Caballero, MST, for a fun and engaging class series designed for caregivers and their young children! In this interactive, play-based class, you'll explore developmentally appropriate materials—books, songs, activities, and toys—that promote essential skills in your child’s development. From tracking with bubbles to building finger strength with manipulatives, every activity is carefully chosen to support your child's growth while strengthening your bond together.

Each week, Niña will guide you through connection-building activities, offering insights into child development and practical strategies to support your child’s emerging skills. Through play, caregivers will gain a deeper understanding of their child’s developmental milestones and learn how to foster growth in a playful, inclusive, hands-on environment.

Class Highlights:

  • Interactive, developmentally appropriate activities for toddlers

  • Focus on key developmental areas: cognitive development, fine motor skills, communication, gross motor skills, and more

  • Fun songs, books, and exploration to strengthen your child’s abilities

  • Opportunities for caregivers to connect, learn, and share with others

This class series is perfect for caregivers who want to better understand their child’s developmental needs and build a deeper connection through purposeful play.

Price: $35/session or $300/10 classes

  • Working with the Includ(Ed) team made us feel safe & supported without feeling "othered" or somehow less than for having to receive therapeutic support.

  • The thoughtfulness and attention given to each part of my son's experience blew me away and left me in tears. I finally felt like I wasn't solo in or crazy for fighting for his various therapeutic needs.
