Join the Play & Learn Program
Our Program
The Play & Learn Program is here to help you learn how to use play to build your baby’s brain and help them succeed throughout their life. Our team of early childhood experts will share fun and easy strategies to support your child’s development. When you sign up for one of our 20 weekly classes, you’ll be able to meet other families, learn about child development, and enjoy music, art, and other activities with your child.
There is no cost to attend sessions at The Children’s Storefront; we are a nonprofit and offer our program to all families in our community.
Our program is offered in both English and Spanish, and we have virtual and in-person options. Check out our schedule below and register for a class today!
