LOCATION:Little Me Studio\, 447 S Main St\, Bourbonnais\, Illinois 60914-19

DESCRIPTION:Semester Pay In Full - $48.00\nDrop In - $14.50\n\nClass Experi
 ence\n\nMessy Makers is a <strong>parent + child early learning program</s
 trong> designed to gently prepare little ones for the preschool experience
  through play-based exploration\, routine\, and social interaction.\n\nEac
 h class provides a consistent\, welcoming structure that helps children bu
 ild confidence with <strong>routines\, transitions\, and group participati
 on</strong>—all key components of school readiness. Through hands-on sen
 sory and creative play\, children naturally develop foundational skills wh
 ile engaging alongside peers.\n\nRather than formal instruction\, children
  engage freely with thoughtfully prepared “<em>Invitations to Explore</e
 m>” that support:\n\n<strong>• Social skills</strong> (sharing space\,
  parallel play\, early cooperation)\n\n<strong>• Language development</s
 trong> (naming\, describing\, communicating needs)\n\n<strong>• Fine mot
 or skills</strong> (grasping tools\, squeezing\, scooping\, early writing 
 motions)\n\n<strong>• Early learning concepts</strong> (colors\, shapes\
 , textures\, cause & effect)\n\n<strong>• Independence & confidence</str
 ong> in a group setting\n\nActivities may include sensory bins\, age-appro
 priate art materials\, dough\, pouring and scooping stations\, and open-en
 ded building - each chosen with developmental growth in mind.\n\nChildren 
 are encouraged to move at their own pace while caregivers remain close by\
 , offering support and connection as needed. Our instructor helps guide in
 teractions\, model language\, and support positive peer experiences throug
 hout class.\n\nThis program creates a <strong>low-pressure\, nurturing fir
 st classroom experience</strong>—helping children feel comfortable\, cap
 able\, and excited about learning with others. \n\nMessy Makers also serv
 es as an ideal first step toward greater classroom independence\, creating
  a strong developmental foundation before moving on to our Preschool Trans
 ition Program\, a child drop-off experience for ages 2–4.\n\nNotes\nEnro
