Discover New Adventures For Baby And Parent


Hatchlings Play Groups
For families with little ones 3 years and under looking to connect and socialize. Our in-person weekly groups are a great opportunity to build community, practice gentle play, and leave the house. We encourage Nest Village Members and drop-ins from the community alike!
Let us help facilitate play, sensory development, and learning. Hatchling's doesn't follow a particular method of play or learning, but we do encourage age-appropriate play expectations. Toddlers, especially, can be messy, have difficulty sharing, and communication is tricky. We encourage everyone who joins us to be open to the learning opportunities the playgroup provides by guiding their littles through the tough moments.
Nest Parent Cassie Clements and her son (aged 1 year) facilitate the playgroups. Cassie has worked with children since she was a teenager and is well-versed in everything Nest! Feel free to ask her questions about upcoming classes and workshops.
Hatchlings can be experienced in two different ways:
Outdoor Sensory Play
Mondays 9:30-10:30AM
Mautino Park
(in the grass- off the first parking area)
Drop-in for sensory play in the great outdoors. There will be several sensory bins, bubbles, baby toys, balls, water activities, and a couple of surprises as the summer progresses.
Please bring your blanket for sitting on the grass, snacks, water, and weather-appropriate clothing. There will be sun!
A hand washing station for before and after play will be provided.
