Movement & Milestones
Our baby and toddler classes are for ages 3 months to 3 years. Development happens differently for every child so we have designed our Movement & Milestone classes based on developmental milestones.
These classes are more than just physical movement. Designed for you and your child, the class includes: age appropriate communication, cognitive, social, emotional, and sensory skills through exploration, fun music, and interactive activities. Classes align activities to promote developmental milestone achievements such as: passive movement to strengthen, lengthen, and introduce muscles to dominant movement patterns used for sitting, crawling, and walking. An active helper is required for every child in class.
Developmental Focuses

Postural control: Activities work on building strength and stability in body parts such a the head, neck, and trunk (belly/back)
