Infant Speech & Language Development A guided class for infants and caregivers led by a fully licensed Speech-Language Pathologist from Downtown Kids Therapy. This session focuses on early communication development through responsive interaction, sound play, and intentional engagement. Caregivers are supported in understanding how language begins—through eye contact, gestures, babbling, and shared attention—long before words emerge. Using developmentally appropriate techniques, Caitlin gently guides both infants and caregivers through simple, effective ways to support speech and language growth at home. The class incorporates songs, repetition, facial expression, and play-based interaction to encourage connection, imitation, and early sound production. This is a calm, supportive environment where caregivers gain practical tools, and infants are given space to explore communication at their own pace. Assisted by our Guides.

Morning Circle is a 30-minute gathering for infants and toddlers. We begin with name recognition through song, followed by the weather and calendar. A seasonal or theme-based story is shared, and at times children are invited into a simple show-and-tell. This time supports early language, routine, and foundational learning in a calm group setting.

Music & Movement Music & Movement at Casa Primary is a joyful, high-energy class where children are invited to sing, dance, and explore rhythm through their favorite songs. Led by Tracy, Sara, or Evan, professional musicians bring a dynamic, playful approach to early music education. Through live music, call-and-response, rhythm play, and imaginative movement, children build coordination, listening skills, and early musical awareness in an engaging, social environment. Each session is designed to feel light, expressive, and fun—meeting children where they are while encouraging participation and confidence. And of course, no class is complete without the beloved bubble moment—creating a sense of wonder, movement, and shared joy that children look forward to each time.

Craft Workshop at Casa Primary is a hands-on, Montessori-inspired studio for all ages—designed for busy hands and creative minds. Children move through a rotating selection of tactile work, from sewing and fiber arts to clay modeling, woodworking, and simple build projects like crafting wooden cars. Themes shift regularly, offering new materials and inspiration while maintaining a calm, prepared environment where children can explore at their own pace. With an emphasis on process, precision, and independence, the workshop supports fine motor development, problem-solving, and sustained focus—while nurturing a quiet confidence in making.
