Little Learners Play Lab

Supporting early development through joyful play, social connection and gentle skill building.

Free! Workshop offered regularly in Newberg and McMinnville

From pregnancy through preschool, families thrive when we come together. This event includes playful learning and meaningful conversations—designed to help parents and little ones grow, bond, and feel supported. Join other parents and caregivers of little ones (pregnancy–age 5) for a fun and relaxed “play date.” We’ll share a meal, connect with one another, and explore simple play-based activities that spark learning, strengthen bonds, and make parenting feel a little lighter.

Appropriate for pregnant persons and caregivers raising a child 0 to 5.

What our parents are saying

“I now have time -ins with my kids instead of putting them in time out when they are in distress. I am with them.”

“I am less reactive. I’m able to look in the moment from my child’s perspective and identify what she needs from me”

“I feel that it has helped me be more intentional with how I respond to my children and how to teach them to respond to difficult situations and in relationships.”
