Parent & Tot Programs for Ages 2-4 at Trico Centre

At Trico Centre, our Parent & Tot programs offer a joyful introduction to early childhood learning and play – together. Designed for toddlers and caregivers, these engaging parent and child classes in Calgary invite little ones and their grown‑ups to explore side by side in a safe, supportive environment. Through music, movement, active play, and hands‑on activities, toddlers develop confidence, coordination, and social skills while strengthening their bond with a parent or caregiver. These fun, interactive toddler programs create meaningful moments filled with laughter, connection, and discovery – making early learning feel magical for both parent and child.
