Our Accredited Baby Developmental play practitioners are specialists in supporting genuinely baby led play and brain body integration by providing safe, engaging environments and developmentally appropriate activities. In this course we explore cognitive, language, socio-emotional and physical development from 16 weeks until crawling.
We explore how secure attachment and the opportunity to move and explore freely forms the basis of learning and healthy holistic wellbeing and development and how we can use gentle stretches, songs and interaction to support development at this age.
Our Four key themes are:
-Free movement, balance and brain body integration
-Rhythm and early communication
-Sensory Integration- age appropriate sensory play ideas
-Tummy Time as a play position
On completion of the training practitioners can run Sensory Stretch and sing classes for babies from 16 weeks to crawling. Our Advanced Sensory Stretch and sing classes -Little Buds, provides a follow on group designed to meet the unique needs of crawlers, cruisers and wobbly walkers!
