The UP Parent and Toddler Playgroup is a parent-participation, social engagement program for children ages 1-3 years. This program provides support for families who have concerns about their child’s development, or are noticing a child is showing developmental delays.

Our trained instructors support you through specialized strategies shown to be effective for for children with social communication difficulties. These quality play activities and experiences can support your child’s learning and development in a fun, caring, and social environment.

Group topics may include guidance and modeling on increasing your child’s attention to other people, increasing your children’s communication skills, setting up joint activity routines to increase your child’s learning, as well as providing information on antecedents, behaviours and consequences. Parents will learn how to implement relevant strategies and will leave each playgroup session with activity ideas to enhance these developmental play skills at home. 

Program Structure

This program will be delivered in a group format with up to 5 children with caregiver participation. If an additional caregiver would like to attend, they can watch from our observation area and/or swap in to support their child.
