18-36 months - Hedgie’s Huddle International After School Programs and Daycare

Program Philosophy

At Hedgie’s Huddle, we believe early learning begins with relationships.

The Mommy & Me program is designed to nurture parent-child bonding, encourage peer interaction, and provide parents with valuable tools to support development at home.

Each session blends structure with flexibility, ensuring toddlers feel safe while exploring new skills through play and shared experiences.

Program Leadership

The program is led by our experienced pediatric occupational therapist, who brings over a decade of expertise in child development. With training in DIR/Floortime and Sensory Integration, she ensures every activity is adapted to toddlers’ unique needs, while also guiding parents in understanding developmental milestones and relational techniques.

Her focus on social-emotional growth, language skills, and motor development makes each session a meaningful experience for both children and caregivers.

Orientation & Schedule

Parent Orientation

Before starting, parents attend two orientation meetings (without children). These sessions introduce the philosophy and structure of the program, showing how environment, routine, and interaction play essential roles in toddler development. Parents also connect with one another before the groups begin.
