Baby Play Lab
Baby Play Lab — 6-Week Series
Best for babies approximately 6–12 months
Tuesdays, 11:30 AM–1:00 PM | Weeks of 9/21–10/26
Led by a pediatric occupational therapist, Baby Play Lab is designed to meet babies where they are developmentally, from those early months of tummy time, reaching, and rolling to sitting, crawling, pulling to stand, and early walking foundations.
Through movement, music, sensory play, positioning, and developmentally appropriate activities, babies will have opportunities to explore and build emerging skills at their own pace. Ms. Rebeca will adapt activities and offer ideas based on each baby’s current stage, so families leave with playful, practical ways to support development during everyday routines at home.
Caregivers will also have plenty of opportunities to ask questions, practice new strategies with their baby, and better understand the skills their little one is working toward next.
