The Explorer

Growing through play, wonder, and connection.

Now that your little one is no longer a newborn, the journey continues! Transition from the comfort and connection of The Cradle into the discovery, play, and growth of The Explorer.

Join us on Tuesday and Saturday mornings at Studio B Art in Burr Ridge for a morning of stories, music, sensory play, art, and connection.

Designed for babies and children from infancy to approximately 3 years old, The Explorer offers engaging, age-appropriate activities that encourage curiosity, creativity, and confidence. Each class includes an art project tailored to your child's developmental stage, with a mess-free option for our youngest explorers, who may be more interested in tasting the paint than making a masterpiece!

Have a newborn? If your baby is 0–12 weeks old, we'd love to welcome you to The Cradle, our signature eight-week series for moms and their newborns. New sessions begin every month and provide a supportive space to connect, learn, and build community during those precious first months.

"Mama League is the answer to all of your questions as a new mom. Mama League provided a safe and comfortable space not only to connect with experts on various topics but with other new moms and their babies. I loved being in this class with my daughter. Don't miss your opportunity to join this community!"

"Thank you so much for this series! It was wonderful having a safe space to come each week and meet other moms learning to care for babies as I was, as we figured things out together. The experts were helpful and provided a launching pad for good conversation. And Beth is excellent - bringing in experts to lead discussions and jumping in with helpful tips and tricks at the perfect times.
