Movement & Milestones
Movement & Milestone Classes
Our baby and toddler classes are for ages 3 months to 3 years. Development happens differently for every child so we have designed our Movement & Milestone classes based on developmental milestones.
These classes are more than just physical movement. Designed for you and your child, the class includes: age appropriate communication, cognitive, social, emotional, and sensory skills through exploration, fun music, and interactive activities. Classes align activities to promote developmental milestone achievements such as: passive movement to strengthen, lengthen, and introduce muscles to dominant movement patterns used for sitting, crawling, and walking. An active helper is required for every child in class.
Developmental Focuses
- Postural control: Activities work on building strength and stability in body parts such a the head, neck, and trunk (belly/back)
- Early locomotion: Hips, knees, ankles, and toes. Early skills for jumping such as tip toes, bending knees, balance, and weight transfer
- Early manipulation: weight bearing activities (baby handstands), fine motor, pinching, grasping, pushing, pulling
- Bilateral coordination: both sides of the body working together in a smooth coordinated fashion such as crawling, walking, jumping, crowing midlines
Progression: Children progress through Movement & Milestone classes based on their developmental ability.
