for FREE?
See our Winter/Spring 2022 schedule below! All classes are held at Lower Campus, 8100 School Road - Door 1B.
Baby Sign Language: Would you like to explore some helpful ways to communicate with your baby? This class will introduce you to some of the
basic signs that will help you navigate the frustration in communication that babies and parents experience.
Infant Massage: Are you wondering what you can do to help your new baby’s digestive system work better, or help relieve congestion? You will
learn some helpful techniques from a physical therapist certified in infant massage. Start with a short five-minute routine each day that will help
comfort and soothe your baby, as you get to know each other better.
Parent and Baby Yoga: Are you feeling a need for some time to de-stress by stretching and moving with your baby to help you both relax? No
previous yoga experience is needed to join this class, just wear comfortable clothes and bring a blanket for your baby.
Welcome Baby Brunch/Dinner, Story Time and Gifts: Welcome babies up to 24 months! Come meet new friends and enjoy bonding time with
your baby! We will have door prizes and baby bags for each family. A meal will be provided, as well as stories, song time and a Parent Educator to
answer any questions and connect you to future baby events. These events are offered in partnership with Helping Us Grow (HUG).
