Standing up and first steps: Baby-parent workshop for 9-14 months olds

At this exciting stage, as babies are learning to stand on their own two feet, we’ll support them in developing the essential elements needed for standing and walking with confidence: balance, healthy spinal movement, and coordination between the upper and lower body.
Through fun, floor-based activities, we’ll continue to strengthen crawling, sitting, and the transitions between them, building a solid foundation before walking begins.
We’ll also explore the emotional and behavioral challenges of this age, such as fear of strangers and separation anxiety, and learn how to foster confidence, reduce dependence on parents, and encourage independence through movement and playful interaction with other babies-friends.

The workshop is held in English and includes 5 weekly sessions
 Tuesdays, 15:15-16:15
 Dates: 2.6, 9.6, 16.6, 23.6, 30.6

First Step is a holistic approach rooted in the Feldenkrais method. It emphasizes the deep connection between sensory-motor learning and emotional development — how a baby’s ability to roll, reach, or sit is closely linked to their sense of confidence, curiosity, and openness to the world. The approach also highlights the vital role of the environment we create for our babies — through touch, tone of voice, responsiveness, and the experiences we offer. These early interactions shape how babies move, learn, see themselves, and relate to others. Our goal is to provide each baby with optimal conditions for development, and to help them build both a strong sense of confidence and a solid motor foundation, that will serve them throughout life.
