This group was created on the belief that children learn best through interactive play, peer connection, and secure parent child attachments.
Through this group your child will learn emotional regulation skills in an environment that establishes a sense of safety, promotes peer socialisation, and will be experienced as fun and creative play.

Every family comes with their own unique strengths and resources that contribute to the best parenting for their children. Our goal is to provide support and education to parents in a way that builds upon already established skills and strengthens connection between parents and their child.

As parents ourselves, professionals in the mental health field, and long standing members of this community we wanted to create a resource that we saw as a need for families, that we would find beneficial ourselves as parents, and most of all was fun for kids.
