Morning Glories – Parent Education & Play Group
For children and their caregiver(s) at Live Oak Park
Led by: Bonnie Romanow
Join other parents and caregivers in an easy outdoor setting – Live Oak Park in Berkeley, to connect over the joys and challenges of parenting young children. Engage weekly with practical ideas drawing from the wisdom of Waldorf education, RIE and other current information, chosen to support and inspire your life at home. The children will explore free play and social time; the adults will explore caregiving, connect with one another, and enjoy simple handwork activities. The class includes movement and singing, storytime and a group snack for everyone. Please dress for the weather as we will be outdoors in the park.
