Nurture Tots Program
More than a Mother's Day Out
Think Lounge® Nurture Tots Program offers a screen-free, play-based program that nurtures social and emotional skills essential for success in life and school. Our open floorplan and themed stations encourage self-directed exploration, while our sensory-focused curriculum fosters growth in language, motor skills, arts, and STEM. This program is specially designed for toddler-aged children to play and learn alongside our preschoolers during the typical preschool hours. They will benefit from observing preschoolers and being exposed to the activities without being required to participate. There is a total of 6 spots in the class, so space is especially limited.

Jen Nilan
Owner, General Manager, Early Childhood Educator & Caregiver
With a background and graduate degree in business, I developed my passion for working with kids as a volunteer teacher and coach with organizations such as Hill Country Bible Church, Education Connection, and the YMCA Twin Lakes, focusing specifically on toddlers, preschoolers and early elementary. It's so gratifying now that this passion can take center stage at my own business, where I feel truly fulfilled working full-time with children and most importantly, supporting other families in their parenthood journey.
