Are you curious about your baby’s movement development from birth to walking?

Are you interested in fostering your baby’s sense of confidence and competence
as they learn to move in gravity and space?

Do you want to learn ways to pick up, set down, and hold your baby
that respect their agency and help them orient to the world?

Come learn to see and appreciate what babies are already doing. Babies are learning new skills all the time and the progression of little steps is as important as getting to the big landmarks of sitting, crawling and walking.

Learn how to help your baby develop the skills to get into and out of different levels and positions so they can start negotiating the world on their own terms.

How a baby is handled influences all aspects of their development: their patterns of perception, their problem-solving abilities, their emotional well-being, their cognitive functioning, and their sense of agency in the world. Learn and practice handling skills that meet and support your baby’s developmental stage.

Babies! is open to families with babies from newborn to early walking, and multiple caregivers are welcome. We have found that this all-ages, one-room schoolhouse format fosters community and a generative learning environment.

These group sessions are structured as open exploring time, where Sarah will support the infants in their process, talk to parents and caregivers about their observations, respond to any questions that might come up, and offer suggestions.

Sessions are 60 minutes. You can arrive anytime in the first 15 minutes and leave as needed. First-timers are encouraged to arrive as close to the beginning of class as possible.
