Private Gatherings
Looking for a more personal way to connect, prepare, or celebrate?
Our Private Gatherings offer thoughtful, supportive group experiences - from parent preparation classes to meaningful baby showers. Designed for small groups, these sessions bring people together in intentional ways during life’s most meaningful transitions.
Parent Preparation Course
Our parent preparation course is carefully designed to help those families who are expecting a child or considering becoming pregnant. This half day course offers meaningful information about how to prepare for your baby after birth and delivery, how to create a home environment to support infant development and create secure attachment. This course recognizes the massive change that occurs when a baby enters into a new family and the huge shift that happens for the parents.
Parent-Child Class Facilitator Training
A 40-hour Certificate Course for Montessori educators, assistants, and administrators interested in running Montessori parent-child playgroups for children ages 2 months to 20 months and their caregivers.
Gather Affiliate Parent-Child Classes
We believe no one should have to parent alone. Our community parent-child classes ensure this important work expands beyond the Dundas area, reaching families across Ontario. We support and train facilitators to offer these classes in their own communities. Find a class near you.
Gather Parent-Child Classes
Our parent-child playgroups are created as beautiful spaces for you and your child to come, play and connect with other children and parents. These classes focus on creating a supportive community where parents can engage with their children in a respectful and enriching way.
We provide three different parent-child classes based on age and developmental needs:
Parent-Infant Classes for infants 2 months to 8 months old
Parent-Mover Classes for movers 8 months to 16 months old.
Parent-Toddler Classes for toddlers 16 months to 20 months old.
