Inclusive Toddler Groups

Rise and Vibe returns, Munch and Move is back, and we're excited to introduce our first infant class! This October, all classes are expanding to six weeks!


RTC’s inclusive toddler groups are a fun, supportive space for little ones to move, play, explore, and connect. Groups are co-led by two therapists from our music, occupational therapy, and/or speech therapy teams, depending on enrollment.
