TWO GROUPS: WHAT'S THE DIFFERENCE?
LITTLE EXPLORERS
Little Explorers are perfect for children ages 1-3 who prefer exploring at their own pace and involves more free play.
Each session begins with a lively circle time featuring songs, stories, and dances led by an SLP to gently introduce your child to structured activities. Afterward, our little ones enjoy free play at our outdoor stations, exploring a range of activities like art, sensory play, motor play, and more.
Each week, parents learn new skills that build on the previous ones, empowering you to confidently support your child's growth and development at every stage!
LITTLE NAVIGATORS
Little Navigators are designed for kids ages 4-6 and offer more structure, encouraging collaboration, team-building, turn-taking, and following directions.
This program begins with a more focused circle time to help build conversation skills, introduce the theme, and preview the day's activities. Children then move on to free play at our outdoor stations, with choices from complex crafts to fun, open-ended activities that spark creativity.
Throughout, our SLPs are available to guide parents and answer any questions about communication, making this a well-rounded experience for both kids and caregivers!

TESTIMONIALS

My son and I love Talk Time’s playgroups! It’s great to meet other kids outside and participate in crafts and activities that I didn’t have to plan or clean-up! After a long few years inside during COVID this is a great opportunity for us to socialize in a friendly and welcoming environment.

My 15mo absolutely loves the Littles Explorers Playgroup! He has a speech delay and in addition to him having a blast each week, I have noticed a significant improvement in his speech and social skills since finding Talk Time Boston.
KELLY C.
My 2 year old loves going to playgroup and has really thrived from it! She's not in daycare so I like it for the social aspect - she was very reserved when we started going but has really blossomed and become very verbal now. Both Alessandra and Nicole are so engaging and enthusiastic, and we look forward to going each week!
