Gentle Explorers – Sensory Drop-In Program

Gentle Explorers (GEM) at MOFP. This program provides a safe and welcoming space where children can explore at their own pace while caregivers receive support, connect with others, and access helpful resources.

Each session includes sensory-rich activities, calming areas, and opportunities for parents and caregivers to share experiences in a relaxed setting.

What to Expect

• Small group setting (limited to 8 families per session)
• Open sensory play with themed days (sound play, textures, water play, and more)
• Calming corners and a listening station
• Low-stimulation environment with dimmed lighting
• Access to our Early Learning Library
• Caregiver support, resource sharing, and discussion time
• Neurodiverse-friendly strategies and guidance

Caregivers are welcome to play alongside their children, take breaks when needed, or participate in informal discussions with other parents.
