1. Tiny Babes (2 to 6 Months) – we focus on teaching your baby to roll and sit independently.
2. Babes (6 to 9 Months) – we focus on teaching you how to encourage your baby to crawl.
3. Busy Babes (9 to 12 Months) – we focus on coaching your baby to stand and walk without support.
The Workshops are designed to create a stress-free environment, encouraging moms and babies to learn and develop at a steady pace.
