Join us every Friday morning for a fun and interactive, parent-child class at Temple Kol Ami’s Early Childhood Center. Mommy & Me Rock Shabbat is a wonderful opportunity for parents and tots to have fun and spend quality time together in a warm Jewish environment.
Mommy & Me Rock Shabbat is open to all moms and their children ages infant to 2 years.
More than just a play group or social event, this teacher-led class offers a wealth of opportunities for moms to connect and share experiences with each other while their children learn and grow.
Typical Mommy & Me activities include:
- Jewish themes & songs
- Music & movement
- Arts & crafts
- Interactive, developmentally-appropriate Tot Shabbat
Come meet other moms while kids learn about group dynamics and prepare for pre-school.
Mommy & Me classes are just $5 per class (or $35 for a 10 class pass) for Temple Kol Ami members.
Non-members pay $10 per class (or $75 for a 10 class pass).
