Group interaction aids in development of social emotional skills, builds confidence, and fosters relationship building.

These classes are taught by our specially trained certified infant massage instructors and licensed occupational therapist. Each class offers a rewarding opportunity to enhance caregiver-infant bonding, improve and maintain the physical well-being of babies, and facilitate long term positive emotional development for families.
