Embracing 'Me Time' at Kids Garden


Read More

We know there are plenty of options for mommy and me classes in Steamboat Springs, CO, but what about just “me” classes?

At Kids Garden we understand that parents need a break sometimes! There is no guilt here when moms (or dads) need to drop off their kids for some well-needed me time.

Our spin on typical “mommy and me classes” is this: you drop off your kid, we ensure they have a blast at our creative childcare center, and you get to do what you want! Run errands, catch up on work, hit the gym, or spend some time with friends.

A Unique Twist on Traditional Concepts Mommy and Me Classes in Steamboat Springs, CO

Read More
Read Less

Traditional mommy and me classes offer opportunities for parent-child bonding.

We recognize that healthy family bonds are supported by community. Parents shouldn’t be responsible for engaging their children 24/7. You need time to recharge and refresh to be the best for your child.

Kids Garden is the community you can lean on when you need support. At our mommy and me classes, we don’t expect you to engage in structured bonding activities (because we know you already do that enough!).

We take care of the fun with a diverse range of activities and programs for children. From arts and crafts to yoga and dance, we will keep your little ones occupied and engaged. You can relax and enjoy well-deserved “me time,” knowing that your kid is in good hands.

We kindly ask that your child's items are labeled such as their water bottle, bag or backpack, diapers and wipes. Please give all items needed to a teacher upon drop off to ensure we have everything your little one needs. If you don't have these items at drop off, it's okay! We got you! We sell diapers, snacks and can provide water cups to give you peace of mind that you can drop in anytime.

Our play space is a time for new discovery and we encourage children to engage in new activities and experience natural materials.

Peer Bonding and Independence

Peer Bonding and Independence

While family bonds are important, peer bonding and socializing are essential components of a well-rounded child.

When parents step away and children get a chance to be independent and interact with peers, they are learning healthy social bonds.

Our mommy and me classes are a chance for your little one to embrace his or her independence and form lasting friendships with other little ones.

That is why we facilitate an environment where parents can address personal tasks, work, or indulge in self-care, while their children thrive in our engaging, educational setting.

Our environment is crafted to be a place of socialization and education, where children can engage in activities that are both fun and beneficial to their development. This ensures that every family member's needs are met, embodying the true essence of support and enrichment.
