For newborns and growing babies
Did you know…
…sound recognition begins in the womb? Foundations classes are all about exploring and reacting to new sounds, objects, and movements. Plus, parents and caregivers heighten connections with their babies by learning bonding techniques.
What to expect…
Listening
Sing it again...babies will experience a variety of songs and rhymes in different ways. Bonus: a parent’s singing voice is their favorite!
Vocal Plays
Your turn! Babies will participate in back-and-forth vocal plays and other parent-child interactions, helping them with early language development.
Object Exploration
From scarves to shakers, little ones will use all of their senses to explore a variety of safe, engaging props and instruments.
Bonding Exercises
The best part...parents and caregivers learn bonding techniques through intentional touch, baby massage, and relaxation activities.
What you’ll learn…
Movement Control
Different movement activities help babies strengthen their core muscles, which increases their sense of balance and control over movements.
Social Adaptability
Group activities allow babies to experience familiar and unfamiliar social experiences in a safe and secure way.
Listening and Communication Skills
Listening to music and doing vocal play exercises helps develop a baby’s back-and-forth communication skills.
Language and Literacy Development
