For babies 6-12m

​

Did you know that the development of movement is closely connected with the development of the sensorimotor system that wires the brain. This means: For optimal brain growth, babies need to move! There are things you can do to support this development.

Babies 6-12m are SO ACTIVE & need a safe "yes-space" to be able to put their developing skills to the test. This period of baby’s life is all about exploring and learning through movement & the senses: touching, grasping & releasing, mouthing & it is best done in a safe & enticing environment created especially for reaching new milestones, like sitting, crawling, standing, cruising, walking.

This 4 week course is designed to

- strengthen baby’s muscles & boost baby’s balance, posture and stability, to help them reach new milestones

- nurture baby’s natural growth and curiosity about the world and how they interact with it, encouraging baby to move freely & learn about the surroundings safely, with the help of the senses

- boost brain development & improve sleep

- give you the knowledge, tools and resources you need to confidently navigate your baby's development - it empowers parents of 6 to 12-month-old babies to become architects of their baby's development.

Imagine your baby exploring a specially designed "yes-space" where every corner invites growth and discovery. With gentle guidance, you'll help your baby conquer soft obstacles, crawl through tunnels, and navigate a baby parkour and gym. These exhilarating activities do more than build muscles – they forge neural pathways, boosting brain development, and confidence.

​

During our interactive sessions, together with baby, you will discover the world through movement and all the senses.

Put those crawling, scooting and cruising skills to the test and become a confident mover and shaker! Because after all, body confidence in our babies translates into a strong character, stamina and lifelong learning & curiosity.

By giving baby the possibility:

-- to move freely in a carefully designed "yes-space",
-- to explore their surroundings in an unhindered way,
-- by allowing them to follow their natural curiosity and activate their senses,
you are helping baby boost their brain development, social skills, linguistic abilities and enabling baby to sleep better too! Join this class (limited to only 4 participants) and set foundations for your baby’s next milestones!
