Sarah teamed up with Natural Nest Play Cafe (Middletown location) in September 2023 & has hosted weekly Little Baby Playgroup with great success ever since. After taking a break to get outside with Little Baby Movement Class during the Spring & Summer months, Little Baby Playgroup is ready to return to Natural Nest this Fall & Winter.
Tummy Time, made simple. Playtime, made joyful. Make tummy time & purposeful play feel easy and enjoyable. Strengthen your bond with your baby. while connecting with other parents in the same stage of life. Get your questions answered by a baby development expert & rediscover the joy of watching your little one play, grow & learn. Each week includes a developmental topic to explore, along with hands-on practice in fun, nurturing ways to support your baby’s natural development. The series goes through
Week 1: Tummy Time & Playing with my Newborn (discuss why Tummy Time exists, developmental benefits, how tummy time progresses & all of my favorite tips)
Week 2: Babywearing Troubleshooting & Tips (discuss developmental benefits of babywearing, try on carriers & troubleshoot comfort/ergonomic/safety issues since carrier companies are notorious for posting unsafe babywearing photos/videos)
Week 3: Baby Massage (discuss the benefits of baby massage for both parent & baby and practice baby massage strokes)
Week 4: Baby Gear/Toy Recommendations for the Early Stages (discussion from the perspective of a mom & Pediatric PT about developmentally appropriate toys, bouncers, swings, loungers, baby seats, creating "yes spaces" etc. Not all gear is created equal & the truth is you probably need a lot less of it than you think you do.)
Week 5: Purposeful Play for Rolling (a breakdown of all the “inch-stones” leading up to this major movement milestone, play set-ups & ideas to encourage your little one to roll)
Week 6: Movement Milestone Myths (in a parenting age where social media is rampant with misinformation, this evidence informed discussion will bust all of the most frequent untruths currently being heard around the world)
Siblings play at a discounted rate ($8) during group time & a Natural Nest Play Attendant will be present to assist the big kids so you can focus on baby.
Open Play Reservations are closed during group time so the space is reserved for this group of parents/babies/siblings only. This limits overstimulation for our tiniest “Nesters” & helps protect their growing immune systems.
This is a ~90 minute Playgroup with 45 minutes of guided play & instruction from Sarah - an Infant PT & Mama of three littles. Guided play/instruction is followed by an additional 45 minutes of conversation & connection with other parents. Purchase a Full Session (includes a free class) or a 4 Class Pass (save $$) to ensure you have a spot each week. Drop-ins will only be offered on a limited basis as this Playgroup frequently sells out. Space is limited to 8 parent-baby dyads in order to keep the Playgroup more intimate & so Sarah can provide individual support as needed.
*For babies 3 weeks - 6 months*
Location: Natural Nest Play Cafe at Cricklewood Grove, 5350 Summit Bridge Rd Suite 11, Middletown, DE 19709
Meets weekly on Tuesdays at 11:30am. Please remember to wear or bring socks. We do not allow shoes or bare feet in the baby play-space.

“We loved the Little Baby Movement Class! In those first few weeks postpartum, the social interaction with other moms was paramount. It gave me something to look forward to each week! I learned a lot about how to support my child’s development without feeling any sort of pressure. I highly recommend taking this class! Sarah and the class are wonderful.”
- Little Baby Movement Class Mama
“I had concerns for my daughter's development at 5 months old. (Our) pediatrician wasn't worried but that didn't take away my intuition. Sarah validated all my concerns and assisted me in getting my daughter the services she needed! My daughter is now 1.5 years old and Sarah remains a phone call/text away! I can never thank Sarah enough for all she has done for my family and all the education she provided me with in her classes!”
-Zoey’s Mama
