Connect & Play

Our Connect & Play classes are $275 per month (4 one-hour long classes per month). This is to ensure you get the highest quality instruction and personalized support from child development experts and covers all the materials used in the classes.

Speech Language Pathologists are not only experts in speech sounds, but also in multiple areas of child development, including language, social interaction, and cognitive problem-solving. They have specialty training in understanding both neurotypical and neurodivergent development and can provide tools and strategies to support all children to learn and grow at their own pace. They can also increase parent confidence in what to expect and how to effectively communicate with their young children.

Currently, all Connect & Play classes are led by Caitlin Zeien, MA CCC-SLP. Caitlin is a fully certified, state licensed speech-language pathologist with nearly two decades of experience supporting families and young children. You can learn more about Caitlin here.

Connect & Play classes are non-therapeutic. Your child does not need to have a diagnosis, and you do not need to be concerned about their development to attend. Our classes are fully inclusive for ALL abilities - so all children and families are welcome!

Classes are led by a speech-language pathologist who is a specialist in language, social, and cognitive development; They will help you understand your child at different ages and stages and give you specific ideas of how to play and support your child’s growth. If you do have concerns about your child’s development, the therapist can help guide you to find the best supports for your family.

When you register for the weekly playgroup, you will sign up for 4 classes: 3 “parent/caregiver + child” in-person classes and 1 virtual “parent/caregivers only” class.

When you sign up for our free trial class, you are registering for one, in-person group class.

Connect & Play in-person classes meet at the Socially Minded Therapy clinic at TBD.

Currently, all classes are offered on weekdays between 9:30 am-12 pm. Please contact us for our current availability.

If no current times are available for you, please complete the registration form and let us know what days and times work best for you.

We anticipate expanding our offerings soon and will reach out when new times become available.

Yes! Connect & Play classes are designed for all caregivers of young children to attend. These classes are a great opportunity to ensure your child’s daily caregiver has the knowledge and tools to create a highly enriching, developmentally appropriate learning environment.

The caregivers only class is designed to provide individualized recommendations for each family in a group setting. Each session will address developmental stages and what you can expect for your child. Additionally we will discuss specific concerns and provide strategies to help you tailor the things you are learning to your home and community environments.

Please note that caregiver only classes are offered virtually via videocall so that all interested caregivers may attend. The virtual sessions are held at the same time as your in-person classes. We are all parents and understand that your child may be home or present nearby during the call.

Registered participants are enrolled for 4 sessions each month on a monthly basis. Once classes have begun, you are not able to be refunded for the remaining sessions that month.

Once enrolled, you are automatically enrolled for the following month and will be billed on the first of the month. If you find you do not want to continue in the next month’s classes, you must notify your therapist in writing (via email) at least 7 days before your next billing cycle. Billing occurs on the 1st of each month.

If you are scheduled for a class on a federal holiday or date when the Connect & Play group is not open, your monthly rate will be prorated accordingly and you will not be charged for that date. If you would like to attend another day that week and space is available, a make-up can be offered at the discretion of the therapist.
