Speech & Language: for ages 1 – 3 years old with caregiver

Join Kelly McClintock, MS, CCC-SLP, for strategies that you can use at home to help your child build a strong language
foundation for life. Each class will include hands-on parent-child activities.

Speech and Language will have a rotating weekly theme:
Readying the Land: Design a Space That Fosters Language – Ever wonder how to design a room and home that promotes your child’s language and cognitive development? Come learn about this and more as we spend some time at the intersection of design and development.
Readying Ourselves: How Regulation is the Key to Our Baby’s Learning – Did you know that before we learn, we must first be regulated? We’ll explore how children begin building their nervous system and what ingredients are necessary for optimal development.
Pouring the Foundation: Fostering Pre-Verbal Skills – Get an overview of how this process works and learn strategies that you can use at home to help your child build a strong language foundation for life.
Raising the Barn: The importance of Language and How to Foster it – In this class, learn to use simple habits and strategies around your home to encourage understanding of language and later expression.
Raising the Roof: Articulation – Learn what “typical” development looks like from sound play to when your child should have their “r” and lots in between.
Weatherproofing: Learning to Manage Challenging Behaviors – Come join this class on navigating tricky parenting moments and learn tools to promote healthy approaches for both parent and child.

Cost: $18 for a single class or choose a class package option during checkout. Please note, when purchasing a class package, you must use it in a certain amount of time (ex. 4 & 8 class packages have to be used within 6 weeks).
Young children thrive with consistency; to honor this, we offer a class format that provides children with the routine, familiarity of faces, and predictability they need to confidently participate in class. Therefore, we encourage you to consider purchasing a 4 or 8 class package.

Notice about siblings: Siblings are always welcome at Relief! If they are too old to participate in this class we ask that you utilize our on-premise childcare. If you are interested in signing more than one child up for a class, please email us at info@reliefparenting.com and we can register with the sibling discount rate of $16, or feel free to make use of our 4 and 8 class packages.

Cancellation Policy: If you have signed up for the class, we ask that if you need to, please cancel 12 hours prior to the class in order to give people on the waitlist the opportunity to join. If you cancel at least 12 hours prior, the class fee will be kept in your account to be used on a later date of your choosing. If you cancel less than 12 hours prior, or if you fail to show, you will be charged for the class. That amount cannot be transferred to another class.

Class Participant Minimum: We ask that there be a minimum of 2 participant sign-ups in order to run this class. If the minimum is not met you will be notified via the email you provide on MINDBODY. Your payment will be kept in your account to be used towards another class. Registration for this class will close two hours prior to the start if the minimum is not met.
