Little Baby Movement Class

This is an educational playgroup that meets weekly for eight week sessions. Additional classes may be added (weather dependent).

This session will begin on Wednesday, September 6th & will meet every Wednesday through October 25th. Make-up classes will be held on Fridays in the case of inclement weather on Wednesday. An additional make-up/extra Class will be on Wednesday, Nov 1st.

Classes are at BRANDYWINE SPRINGS PARK (Faulkland Rd/Rt. 41) at 10am.

Feeling frustrated with Tummy Time? Not sure how to best support your little one as they learn to roll, sit & crawl? Overwhelmed by all the “noise” & misinformation out there about baby development? You’re not alone.

This intimate 60-90 minute class will explore Tummy Time & purposeful play to nurture your baby's early motor skills. A developmental topic will be discussed briefly each week. There will be an opportunity for questions, discussion & one-on-one troubleshooting. Simply relax, sit & listen if that’s more your vibe. Connect with other parents in the same season of life. Spots are limited but a second caregiver is ALWAYS welcome. Please bring your own blanket. You are welcome to bring a couple of your baby's favorite toys but this is not necessary. Strollers are encouraged in case an impromptu walk around the park occurs after class. This is as much about supporting your baby as it is about supporting YOU!

Nothing Milestones or Motherhood is off limits.

*Class is intended for babies not yet crawling on hands & knees, generally 2+ weeks old.*

Topics Include:

Tummy Time Basics & Playing with my Newborn

Baby Gear for Little Babies & Avoiding “Container Baby Syndrome”

“Help! - My baby has a Flat Head & a crooked neck.”

Purposeful Play for Sitting
