We have two amazing developmental playgroups that run each school term, that cover different areas of development and ways to include fun play activities in your routine that help support your bub’s skills to develop. Read on to find out more about our two playgroups and book your spot today!
What are the two groups & how do they help your child develop?
The first group is our Developing Skills Group which is appropriate for bubs from about 4-6wks of age, up until your child is sitting independently.
Our second group, Advancing Skills, is for babies who can independently sit but aren’t yet independently walking and working on their skills in between these milestones.
We know that all babies progress at different rates, and that’s why we don’t have an age limit for our groups, but rather focus on the skills that they’re up to.
Each playgroup is a 5-week program that covers a wide variety of skills, appropriate to their developmental age. The group is run by one of our experienced Paediatric Physiotherapists, and so focuses on play ideas to support your baby’s gross motor milestones. In our Developing Skills Group, this includes things like tummy time, floor skills including rolling and early sitting, and in our Advancing Skills Group, includes things like crawling, advanced sitting skills, and upright skills including pulling to stand, cruising and standing.
In each group we also go through toy recommendations, feeding considerations and advice as well as play to encourage fine motor and cognitive/play development! It’s also a great opportunity to meet other mums in the area and ask any questions you have about your baby’s development.
Each week covers a different topic incorporating different areas of development not to be missed. Please see our table below for week-to-week topics.
