Bring your baby along and learn stretching and movements that you can do to your baby to help them grow and develop to their full potential.  Baby Yoga is a fun and interactive course and consists of:

• movement, touch and songs for baby
• yoga postures, breathe work and relaxation for parents
• sequences where both parent and baby can work together for mutual benefit

Taking the guesswork out of parenting!  The Circle of Security model is a ‘map’ for parents and caregivers on how to navigate parenting while juggling other demands in life. Based on fifty years of research, this evidence-based program demonstrates that children with secure attachments have more confidence, compassion, resilience and endurance. Participants must commit to all five. This is a parent only course.

How to support, nurture and enhance. A course that translates very complex concepts in a way that is digestible, meaningful and relevant. It provides an insight to the link between the brain, body, and behavior and how a child’s behavior is one of the best windows into brain functioning. By investing in these early years, you will positively affect your child for the rest of their life.

Change can be exciting – it can also be overwhelming, frightening and frustrating for a young child.

If you are planning the arrival of a new sibling, a change of bedroom, starting daycare, relocating, first haircut or other changes this workshop is for you.

During these sessions we will be exploring how to make connections through language, learning and play. We begin with ‘Helping your baby understand’, this needs to happen first before your baby can talk.   You will gain an insight into what helps your baby make sense of language and although your baby’s first word may not be until he is 12 months old the preparation begins much earlier. Dates:  Fridays, 2 June to 30 June 2023 (excl 23/6)
