Taking Mommy and Me classes helps to create a special bond with your child. Not only are these classes a great way to interact in a variety of ways with your child, other parents, and their children, but Mommy and Me classes help children build important social and developmental skills. As a young child, the parent is often the first playmate they interact with. Children may become intimidated when they first encounter other kids after the comfort and security of playing mostly with their parent or sibling.

Taking them to Mommy and Me classes gives them the security of a familiar parent while exposing them to other kids and adults. In addition, taking these style of classes help to create a fun morning or afternoon together.
