Hopkins Community Education

Come join a licensed Children's Teacher for a 45 min class with some fun play-based learning either outdoors or indoors. There is so much fun to be had as your child interacts with the world at ever-increasing levels! Listen to the giggles as you and your toddler enjoy creative activities, sing songs, play with toys, explore new art forms, and more! We have assessed the square footage of our ECFE classrooms and considered the unpredictable movements of our youngest students. Based on guidance from MDH and our school district, our indoor activities will be limited to 5 families and this will consist of one adult with one child. The outdoor classes will be limited to 8 families, and will also consist of one adult with one child. Our sibling care will be restricted to a limit of 4 children maximum (with one adult) on a first come first served basis for children between ages 1-5 years of age. During all in-person activities we ask that you manage your own movements and those of your child to maintain a 6 foot distance within the space. Adults will be provided a choice of which virtual parenting discussion best fits their schedules based on age group. To register for this parenting discussion please call Sonya at (952) 988-5000.

This is the perfect way to meet other parents, learn from others, and discover what is right for you and your family with the guidance of a parent educator and research-based information. Come join other caregivers for an adult conversation around the many fun and amazing changes and some challenging changes your 2-3yr old might be going through. This is a VIRTUAL class facilitated by a licensed Parenting Educator. Each week, the parent educator will lead discussions on topics you are most interested in, such as sharing, routines and rituals, temper tantrums, toilet learning, and child development. Explore different ways to support your child's learning through discussions of play activities and how the more children move the more they are learning.
