Watermelon Patch

A caregiver-child playgroup for ages 18-36m, guided by the DIR/Floortime approach.

Watermelon Patch is a playful, relationship-based group for preschoolers and their caregivers who want to strengthen connection, expand play skills, and support emotional growth in a welcoming setting. This group is ideal for families looking for a space that feels structured enough to be supportive, but flexible enough to honor each child’s unique way of engaging.

Through joyful, child-led play, we’ll work on shared attention, imagination, communication, regulation, and early peer-style interactions. Caregivers will be guided in how to follow their child’s lead, enter the play in a way that builds connection, and support development through meaningful interaction rather than pressure or correction.
