Special guests for October: Pam Larouche, RECE and The Looksee Checklist

The Looksee Checklist is a simple, easy-to-use developmental tool that helps parents monitor their child’s development from 1 month to 6 years of age. It includes short “yes” or “no” questions about your child’s abilities, along with practical tips and activities to support their growth and development. Our guest speaker, Pam Larouche, RECE, Sleep & Parenting Coach, will walk us through how to use the checklist, explain its purpose, and discuss what developmental concerns may look like and how parents can approach them. Come learn how a simple checklist can help you better understand and support your child’s development!

This event is open to expecting parents, their partners and new parents with infants up to 12 months of age. Please share any dietary restrictions during the intake. Intake and registration is required by the deadlines indicated above for each session.
