Terrific Twos: Toileting, Tantrums and Toddler Beds

We think Twos are Terrific, but they're not always easy.  This interactive discussion centers on some of the common challenges which come with a child's growing need to be recognised as an individual, and offers tips and tricks which can sometimes help.  Parents of all toddlers from 1 to 3 are all welcome, as is anyone else working or living with a toddler!

Montessori 101

You may have heard that the founders of Amazon and Google, along with Julia Child, Sean Coombs, and the creator of the Sims games all went to Montessori schools.  It might be you have a friend or neighbor whose kids do.  Or you may have never heard of it at all.  If you're wondering what Montessori is, this is the workshop for you. 

The CEO in the six-year-old

Planning, self-control, decision-making, and time-management.  It's easy to see the benefits of these, and their necessity in getting ahead in life.  But did you know that learning them starts at birth. Come learn about the developmental leaps children from 1 to 6 years old have in executive functions, and how to support your child's growth, all while being relaxed and having fun.
