Oral Storytelling: Understanding narrative structure (beginning, middle, and end) by acting out stories.
Negotiation Skills: Cooperatively deciding on roles, plot points, and rules with peers.

FAQs
How long are the sessions?
1
Each session is 45 minutes of high-engagement play, including a welcome ritual, interactive activities, and a calming goodbye.
Does my child need their own puppet?
2
We provide a curated library of high-contrast, tactile, and specialty puppets for use during class. We’ll even help you choose the "best friend" that matches your child's personality each week!
Do parents have to perform?
3
Not at all! We use the puppet as a "social shield." You’ll find that when you’re looking at the puppet and talking to your child, the rest of the room disappears. It’s about your bond, not a Broadway performance.
My toddler is very active and won't sit still. Is this for us?
4
Yes! We move from "Big Body" gross motor play to "Small Focus" fine motor play specifically to help active toddlers learn to regulate their energy. Moving is part of the learning!
Can I join midway through the term?
5
Our curriculum is a "spiral," meaning we repeat and build on skills. While starting at the beginning of the term is recommended, our "Welcome" ritual helps new families jump right in at any time
