- Ages: 6-12 months
- Student to Coach Ratio - 15:1
Babies in Motion is a 30-minute class that utilizes movement, play, and active exploration to help develop your baby’s body and brain. Our lesson plans incorporate massage, exercises, and special activities to engage your child’s love of play while nurturing and fostering brain development in balance, cross-patterning, visualization, vestibular stimulation, laterality, and fine and gross motor skills. This will enhance your baby’s body awareness, tummy time, movement, and early language skills while strengthening your parent-child connection.
Once a child begins to walk confidently, they’re eligible to be transferred to a Tiny Tumblers 1 class, with the cost prorated. Once they turn 12 months old, if they are not confidently walking, they can remain in Babies in Motion; however, a fee will be charged. The Stay & Pay Babies in Motion fee is the same as our Tiny Tumbler classes.
