Parallel Play: Why Toddlers Don’t Always Play Together

Two toddlers engaged in parallel play, sitting side by side in a sandbox, building castles but not interacting. Parallel play is the first stage of social development in young children.

  • The Moms and Tots Group was founded in 1993 by Petra Lombard after she became aware of the keen interest of mothers to learn more about how to stimulate their young child in a healthy and balanced way.

    Our branch in The Parks (Johannesburg), started in 2024 and is growing fast!

  • Moms and Tots | The Parks is a fun, engaging toddler workshop designed for moms and their little ones to bond, play, and learn together. Our 2-hour sessions include sensory play, fine motor activities, obstacle courses, and music time—helping toddlers develop essential skills in a nurturing, social environment. It’s a great way for moms to connect while their tots explore, discover, and grow through play!

  • Why choose Moms and Tots for you and your baby? Moms and Tots offers a well-rounded experience with a little bit of everything—sensory play, fine and gross motor development, movement, music, and social time—all in one session. Your little one gets to explore, learn, and develop through play, while you connect with a supportive community of moms. It’s more than just a class; it’s a space where both you and your baby can grow, bond, and make lasting friendships!

  • 22 Jan Smuts, Johannesburg. Pass JHB Zoo on your left hand side and look out for our signage on the bend (also on the left). You can’t miss it!

  • We have lessons on week day mornings and afternoons. Give us a call to find out where there is a slot available. If we have two or three moms wanting a new slot, we will launch a new class!

OUR PASSION

At Moms and Tots | The Parks, we’re passionate about creating a space where moms and their little ones can truly connect, learn, and grow together.

There’s nothing more rewarding than watching toddlers light up with curiosity as they explore new textures, movements, and experiences—while moms build friendships and find support in a like-minded community.

We believe in the power of play, the importance of early development, and the joy of shared moments. Every session is designed with love, energy, and care—because these early years are precious, and we’re here to make them even more special!
