Raising happy, confident, emotionally intelligent children

It’s no secret …..

the first 5 years with young children can be a very trying and tiring time.

  • Sleep may be choppy, or it might even feel like you’re not getting ANY sleep at all.
  • Your baby may be super clingy, and not happy anywhere besides in your arms ALL the time.
  • The “terrible twos” may have you spinning in a world of negotiations, empty threats and giving in to your toddler because their tears and tantrums are too much to handle.
  • Sassy preschooler attitudes and defiance to almost everything you ask may leave you exhausted, frustrated and feeling like you’re not good at this whole parenting thing.
  • Money may be tight in the household and you may be struggling with whether to even head back to work after maternity leave because your pay cheque will just go to paying for childcare.

You’ve probably read parenting books, scoured the internet, asked others for tips & strategies…..
but it just doesn’t seem to work for you when you put it to the test,
and you can’t figure out what you’re doing “wrong” or what you need to do differently.

Life with young children while growing your family doesn’t have to be so difficult, and as much as some things are a “phase”, there are tried-and-true strategies that can make things easier so you don’t have to tough it out and hopelessly wait for some miracle to turn things around.

We can help you reduce the 2 most common areas of stress for parents raising little humans in our modern world, and empower you to be the parent you want to be for your kiddos, while having peace of mind you are on track to reaching your family’s goals.

    I love this book! ‘Uh-oh’ uses everyday situations to educate both children and their parents on alternative ways to handle challenging situations by promoting positive and empowering interactions. The photos of children make it visually appealing and the situations described are relevant to every family. As a professional and parent, I highly recommend this book and suggest it be a staple in every family’s home library!

  • Play for my daughter. Meaningful lessons for me.

     
    My daughter and I were enrolled in Intelliplay Tots when my daughter was between the ages of 14 and 16 months. I cannot explain my gratitude to Cherrie for the incredible things she taught us. As an elementary school teacher I wanted to take ideas about social and emotional well-being and apply them to raising my daughter, but I was not sure how to do this at her young age. Cherrie provided excellent and detailed feedback and ideas about ways to allow your child to flourish as a toddler.
     
    More than anything else, I appreciate how Cherrie has helped facilitate a relationship built on love and understanding between my daughter and I. It is wonderful to see my daughter express herself, and to have the tools to help her do so. We have had so many great experiences with baby groups, but Intelliplay Tots stands out as the best because it provided a fun and social setting for my daughter, and meaningful lessons for me.

  • Fun, educational and practical

     
    I really can't say enough good things about Cherrie and the classes she offers. They are fun, educational and a great way to learn practical tips on fostering the development of babies and/or toddlers. Cherrie's classes are warm and inviting and she is extremely knowledgeable on childhood development. She provides excellent and practical strategies around milestones and challenges that parents face each week.
     
    I've learned so much from Cherrie over the past few months and also loved connecting with other parents who have children of similar age as mine. Her classes are the perfect balance of promoting independent play while supporting the children's physical, social and emotional needs. I also love how her circle time is fun and engaging but not too over stimulating- her toys and activities always match the level of the children perfectly:) I can't wait for more classes and advice from you Cherrie as my little "E" turns into a crazy toddler!

  • Practical tips and tricks

     
    The classes Cherrie offers are great to provide practical, real life examples and an opportunity to practice. The tips and tricks I learned in this class have really helped us to better manage our 22 month old. I feel that I am much better at recognizing his needs and can intervene in a way that helps both of us - de-escalating melt downs faster or preventing them all together. I also really appreciated learning how to set up and support more independent play for toddlers.

  • Highly RECOMMEND!

     
    Cherrie has done so much to help our kids calmly interact with one another. Her useful tips for setting up an interesting and challenging play space has changed the way our kids play! We are so grateful for her guidance and highly recommend her classes and workshops.

  • TOTAL GAME CHANGER!

     
    The toddler class was a game changer for us! I would recommend these classes to anyone and everyone. We noticed a difference in our 18 month old twins the first week. ✨?
