TOTS PLAY

Each week you and your baby will enjoy focused time together, signing, bouncing, exploring and playing together. No two classes are the same and with so many new things for your baby to experience each week, we often get told that babies sleep very well after their Discovery Tots class!
We know that babies learn best when they use their whole body and all their senses, and each 40-minute class is filled with lots of different activities to stimulate, delight and encourage development in a relaxed, loving and fun environment.
What do we do? Each class includes the following.
Baby Yoga, Movement and Music
Combining stretches, postures and movement to provide stimulation for baby’s body and mind, yoga based movement is a great way to connect and have fun together. The various movements, some more calming and soothing, some more dynamic and fast paced will also help your baby understand more about their body and what they can do with it and develop their motor skills, strength and flexibility. Nursery rhymes and simple action songs help to add to the enjoyment and further stimulate the senses. Music also helps to introduce rhythm and rhyme to your baby, an important part of speech development.
Baby Sign Language
Babies have the desire to communicate with you long before they develop the ability to speak, and learning to use sign language is one way in which they can let you know what is on their mind from just a few months old. We will introduce a few simple signs which you and your baby can use to communicate with each other.
Multi-Sensory Play
Watch your baby’s delight as we play with a wide variety of fun objects, from ribbons to rice, lights to lemons, bubbles to beach balls and lots more, allowing your baby to use all his or her senses to explore the world. The brain is highly active and developing here too due to the wide range of stimulus on offer.
