Play-Based Baby & Toddler Classes in Westchester, NY
Following the tiniest hands as they learn about the world through play.
At Tiny Hands at Play, we believe young children learn through hands-on exploration and sensory-rich play.
Our caregiver-and-child classes at Creative Corner in Larchmont, NY offer process-based experiences where children explore, experiment, and create alongside their caregivers. Through carefully selected materials and thoughtful sensory invitations, children engage together in a calm, welcoming environment that values curiosity, connection, and learning through play.
Our signature hands-on, mess-friendly class invites children to explore paint, texture, movement, and materials through purposefully prepared stations that encourage experimentation, problem-solving, and creative expression. There is no right way to participate; children and caregivers engage at their own pace, exploring together through curiosity, play, and shared discovery.

About Tiny Hands at Play
Tiny Hands at Play was created by Gina Ducasse, an early childhood educator with over a decade of experience in progressive, play-based settings. She holds a Master’s degree from Bank Street College of Education in Infancy and Family Studies and Early Childhood General and Special Education. Her teaching style is warm, responsive, and grounded in a deep belief that children learn best through open-ended, meaningful play.
Based at Creative Corner, an art studio in Larchmont, NY, Tiny Hands at Play was founded to offer families a space to connect, create, and support early learning in intentional and joyful ways.
