85% of the connections in our brain are built in the

first three years of life - more than 1 million

new connections per second!

This sensitive period of brain development is highly influenced by interactions with parents and caregivers. Yet there is a false idea of adequacy versus inadequacy in parenting.


That is why Aleli creates play dates for

parents and their children.


Parents deserve a safe place to practice new skills,

screw up, ask questions, and try again.


Aleli helps you...

1 Build your child s brain

Learn about your child’s brain and development. Then use play as a way to build the connections in their brain for school and life. Learn new brain-building activities for parents and children.

2 Cope with difficult emotions during stress and tantrums

Coregulation is the basis for helping your child manage difficult emotions. Practice coregulation skills, try different forms of discipline, and have space to manage your own emotions as a parent.

3 Strengthen the bond between parents and their children

Attachment is built through shared space and time with your child. These play groups give you that space to prioritize your child and strengthen the attachment between you. This attachment lasts a lifetime.

How do I know if the course is right for me?

Down Icons

If you are the parent of a young child and want to learn and practice techniques to build your baby’s brain, then this course is for you. Whether you want to have fun with your baby or learn how to connect with them even when stressed, this is the right course for you.

horizontal line

What if I’m not satisfied with the course? Is it refundable?

Down Icons

If you are not satisfied with Aleli after the first session, then you can receive 100% of your money back no questions asked. I’m putting a lot of time into the course, so all I ask in return is that you let me know how we could improve.

horizontal line

What is the age of children that you are accepting in the course?

Down Icons

To start, the course will be offered for children aged 0 to 4 years. So you can sign up if your child is a newborn up to the day they turn 4 years old.

horizontal line

How many kids can I bring to the session?

Down Icons

Each family can only bring one child to the session, even if multiple children are aged 3 or younger. This makes the sessions flow much better. In the sign up section, you can let me know the age of all your children so we can ensure you get matched with the best group.

horizontal line

How many adults can attend? Can I bring both parents? How about grandparents or other caregivers?

Down Icons

Any and all parents and caregivers can come to the session with the child. In other words, if both parents and one grandparent want to come to the session, that’s great!

Even if one of the caregivers doesn’t speak English, they will still learn a lot.

horizontal line

What happens after I pay and sign up?

Down Icons

You will receive an email from me and we will likely set up a time to speak on the phone to discuss your availability to take the course.

horizontal line

What happens if I sign up but cannot make the dates of the course?

Down Icons

If you pay for the course but cannot find dates that work for you, you have the option of waiting until a course opens up that is better for your schedule or receiving 100% of your money back. Completely refundable.
