We will offer practical tips and ideas for activities outside. This workshop will be helpful for any service provider, but is especially important for those hoping to facilitate Wiggle, Giggle & Munch Programs.

If you have taken our WGM Facilitator Training, you are invited to a Wiggle, Giggle and Munch (WGM) Peer Group Meeting, where you will have the opportunity to meet other WGM Leaders in our first-ever online meeting!
The topic of this session will be Food! Do you think is there something such as “picky eaters” or this could be related to sensory integration and child development?
Come to discuss with other leaders’ ideas and challenges about food and get a fun recipe for your program. Take a sneak peek of our Wiggle, Giggle and Munch’s Food workshop.
Our first Networking Peer group session will be on June 18 at noon (until 1:30) via Zoom.
The best part? It’s free for all WGM leaders, but registration is required. Please use the following link to register.
