Wild Babies
Child and Caregiver
Class Description
Our newest class is all about getting our littlest ones out into nature for some play and socialization (and hey, it may help you make a few new mommy or daddy friends as well!) Our class will focus on music, stories (told with hand motions and puppets), sensory play, movement and meeting other babies! All of this will be done outside, which has been proven to help with babies immune systems, their mood/temperament, getting some much needed fresh air and vitamin d, and the biggest benefit for all you new parents is that it can actually help your baby's circadian rhythm (although I am no sleep expert, my 9 month old who doesn't sleep can tell you that!). Regardless of if it helps get you more sleep, getting outside is great for everyone and we think you and your newest additions will absolutely love our outdoor parent and me time!!​

Pricing and policies.
Pricing:
Monthly Subscriptions are still your best option in terms of price and to meet and maintain friendships with families who have joined the same class as you. Payments will be made monthly based on your start date. You will be automatically billed each month on the same date. You can cancel any time before your next automatic payment is processed.
Drop-ins can be bought singularly, or in packs of 4. Buying 4 will give you a bit of a discount on the drop-in price.

1 Child: $60 a month​
2 Children (siblings): $90 a month
**If one of the siblings is too old to participate and is just joining along, of course you will not need to pay for them**

Make up Policies (for Monthly Subscribers)
If you cannot come to a class for any reason, there is a holiday that lands on your class day, or the instructor has to cancel due to unforeseen circumstances, you make up the class at one of the other offered classes that fits your schedule. Please send an email to makeup@wildthingsoutdoorlearning.com 12 hours in advance of the class you'd like to join to allow for preparations.

Options for signing up:
Monthly Subscription:
This is your best option for joining our classes! It gives you a secure spot in your class of choice, the ability to meet and get to know other families who will be in class with you consistently, and will save you money. Our classes run on a weekly basis. You will choose a class day/time that works for you and you will join that class each week. If you miss class for any reason, you can make it up at any other class (see make up policy below).
Drop-In Option:
This offers some flexibility to those who may have crazy schedules (hello all parents!). Please do read the policies carefully upon purchase as there are some firm policies in place that you need to know (general policies below, more details in cart upon purchase).
1) You must give advance notice of at least 12 hours before coming to a class. This helps us to make sure we have enough resources available, and gives us the opportunity to confirm with you if the class is running that week and if there is enough room for you to join. If the class is unavailable for some reason, you will still have your drop-in class to use at another time.
​
2) You can purchase a pack of 4 drop-ins at a discount.
​
3) Drop-ins do not expire (based on availability).
