SUMMARY:Tiny Crawler with First-Step®| 6 – 9 months|
DESCRIPTION:In this workshop\, we’ll nurture your baby’s growing curiosity and mobility through playful games that develop the motor skills needed for both commando and classic crawling. \nYou’ll discover fun ways to strengthen your baby’s muscles\, balance\, and coordination\, while learning how to balance active play with moments of relaxation to support focus and calm. \nThrough communication games\, rhymes\, and joint dance\, we’ll enhance your baby’s communication skills and deepen your connection together. We’ll also explore how to encourage openness to new experiences\, support adaptability\, and promote growing independence. \nThe workshop is held in English and consists of six sessions\, once a week. \nThursdays\, 14:15-15:15 \nDates: 19.3\, 26.3\, 2.4\, 9.4\, 16.4\, 23.4 \nFirst 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.

SUMMARY:First Step course-: Awakening curiosity and rolling over (for 3-7 month old babies)
DESCRIPTION:At this stage\, your baby is becoming more curious and starting to explore their environment through more conscious movements.\nIn this course\, through playful activities and movement-based games\, we will practice tummy\ntime and encourage symmetry\, balance\, weight shifting\, and eye–hand coordination in order to support babies through the rolling stage\, which is an essential foundation for their continued motor development. \nWe will allow the babies to explore a variety of sensory stimuli\, interact with us and with new baby friends\, and learn how we can encourage early communication.\nWe will gain valuable knowledge about the baby’s world and learn how to provide the best learning environment for their development. \nThe course is also a wonderful opportunity for international mothers to connect\, share experiences\, ask questions\, and support one another during this special stage of early parenthood. \nFridays\, 11:30-12:45 \nDates: 10.4\, 17.4\, 24.4\, 8.5\, 15.5\, 22.5\, 29.5\, 5.6 \nFirst Step is a holistic approach rooted in the Feldenkrais method.
