WELCOME TO CUDDLES & GIGGLES, LLC
COME PLAY WITH US!
I am a licensed, Mommy (or Daddy) & Me group specially designed for children ages 1 to 4 years old. I offer classes with fun, seasonal themes for each age group. You and your child will meet new friends within our community and participate at their own comfort level.
The large play area is designed for parent and child to choose different activities for the last 45 minutes of the class. The first 15 minutes of the class is a structured circle time that includes early education readiness that involves the parachute, songs, colors, letters, numbers, shapes, days of the week, months of the year, body parts, animals, and weather. Bubbles, a movement song or game, and a yoga pose will end each class. Both parent and child will experience the joy of learning through play.
The kids will use the felt board, move with our disco lights and craft using our theme each week. The play area encourages fitness, motor skills, creativity, coordination, sharing, physical development, patience and socialization. You and your child will dance, sing, roll in our ball pit, jump on our trampoline, grocery shop, cook in the pretend kitchen, play with a variety of toys, enjoy soft play, and play in the indoor treehouse with a slide. We meet weekly where friendships can be made for yourself and your little one as we all learn together.

Soft Play!
Soft play encourages motor development and jumping/rolling without fear of injury. It is great for improving coordination, motor skills and imagination.
Soft play is designed for energetic babies and toddlers. They will be encouraged to climb, explore and learn as they play on the soft play. It is perfect for crawlers and new walkers to climb and play.
Yoga ends our classes!
I am certified as a yoga instructor and have training for special needs individuals as well. I have helped students with ADHD, autism, and sensory processing disorder. Yoga practice is all-inclusive and I do incorporate poses and breathing exercises into my mommy & me classes. Yoga increases flexibility, boosts immune system, builds awareness for transformation, encourages self-care as well as sensory processing, gives you inner strength, supports connective tissue and bone health, and builds self-esteem.
Why is Circle Time So Important?
What Children Gain from Circle Time
How to behave appropriately in a group is a learned skill, which prepares young children for more formal education, for other group activities, and for many experiences in adult life. Everything from social skills to language to empathy can be gained with practice in circle time.
