OTG Newsletter Header

Discover On the Grow™ enrichment classes for children birth–5. Fun, engaging learning designed for families and early childhood professionals!

Looking for fun, engaging, and research-based ways to support your child’s development?
You’re going to love the On the Grow™ Classes!

Designed by child development experts, the On the Grow™ Program offers playful, educational experiences for children from birth through 5 years old—and support for the parents and professionals who love and care for them.

Each class is centered around a specific area of development, such as social-emotional growth, sensory exploration, early literacy, or motor development. These aren’t “baby sign language classes”—they’re enrichment classes that include songs, stories, hands-on activities, and practical strategies that help grown-ups support their little ones in everyday moments.

Whether you're the parent of a newborn or a preschooler, there's an On the Grow™ class designed just for you. These 45-minute sessions are built around key developmental themes and parenting topics pulled from the best-selling books Baby Minds and Baby Hearts by Drs. Acredolo and Goodwyn.
