Hartbeeps Brighton & Worthing offers baby development classes with an emphasis on the engagement of both child and parent. Each session is written as a mini production which takes you on a journey through imaginary lands and gives opportunities for movement, role play and dress up. We use techniques such as baby signing, baby massage, puppetry, parachute games, lighting effects and baby yoga. We offer different classes aimed at the 3 key developmental stages for children - birth to sitting, sitting to walking, walking to 4 years. As we move through the developmental stages, the sessions are designed to focus on the needs and pre-occupations of a child at that stage. Young babies enjoy relaxing sessions with plenty of opportunity to hear mum's voice and to bond through massage and yoga. Children who are beginning to explore the world around them are encouraged in this activity through role play and bouncy, movement songs. As we move to the walking stage, we focus on social skills such as listening and interacting with both grown ups and other children. Parents feel that their child is taking part in a highly enjoyable activity whilst also developing key skills.
