Tower Tots: Parent & Toddler Workshops
Welcome to Our Parent & Toddler Workshops!
Our Parent and Toddler Workshops are teacher-led, interactive, fun and open to everyone! Each workshop has its own unique theme—incorporating music, art, stories or movement—selected to delight children aged 2–4. Occasionally, we do host a workshop that's a better fit for the dexterity of children aged 3–4. Be sure to note the age range in the descriptions.
Younger siblings are always welcome to attend with a parent or caregiver; please let us know of your plans when you register.
