Based on the concept of "It Takes a Village to Raise a Child", these bi-weekly events bring past and present Baby Institute families together to build a supportive network of trusted relationships to help parents problem solve with each other. Evenings involve food preparation and simple exercise/dance to encourage healthy lifestyles and discussions revolve around the curriculum topics stated above.Children participate in some dance/fitness before heading to another classroom for book and game time with youth employees while parents get some time with each other and our instructors. Families leave with a healthy recipe and tips for fitness at home.
