Our Roots Series is designed with our youngest babies in mind.

One of our primary goals for this series (and really all of them) is to build a strong foundation for connecting with your baby and supporting their development through play.

Throughout the first 10 weeks you will learn beneficial positions for your babyand how to engage them through developmentally appropriate play and songs.

Each class follows a similar structure:

• Welcome songs and settling in

• Music and Movement (developmentally appropriate songs and positions for your baby)

• Developmental Topic with time to play and practice

• High’s & Low’s- Time for moms to chat, share, breathe, and give/receive advice

• Bubbles and Bye bye’s

The developmental topics that are covered in our Roots class include:

• Introduction to purposeful play: The power of observation, reading baby’s cues, & when to play with baby

• Building Strong Bodies Through Play and Positioning: Setting baby up for a strong body and healthy head shape, importance of floor play, containers we do/don’t recommend, and baby wearing 101.
