The Mother-Baby-Toddler Program meets weekly. The program focuses on the significant physical and psychological shifts that occur during this phase of development. The change from baby to toddler is marked by an increasing sense of self, discovery of the external world and the importance of love relationships. While the children play, mothers observe and interact with them and at the same time discuss child development and parenting. Play activities include: manipulative toys, singing, story-time, and beginning group play. Discussions include: the developing sense of self, eating and sleeping, pacifiers, treasured objects, stranger and separation anxieties, fathers and babies, the first "no's", and learning to wait.
