Discover the magic of Schwartz Early Childhood School while building lasting friendships with other families.
Creative Beginnings provides families with children aged 0-24 months the chance to experience Schwartz Early Childhood School together. For one hour each week, enjoy socializing with other parents and caregivers as your child develops their social, emotional, and cognitive skills with other children their age.
Together with a seasoned instructor, you’ll explore your child’s curiosities through art, music, storytelling, and creative play. Creative Beginnings offers a chance for your child to discover the joy of classroom learning alongside a trusted adult.
In addition to provocations, families will enjoy a shared snack and older children will have time for outdoor play.
