Growbabygrow: Creative Dance for Happy Families

The brain is built on demand during the early years… and that demand comes in the form of “doing!” 🧠⚡

The more you and your little ones do, the more confident, self-aware, and grounded in mind and body they become!

What’s more fun than wiggling, bouncing, balancing, and experimenting with all the incredible things we can DO with our BRILLIANT BODY PARTS? 🤸‍♀️👶🏽✨

Having opportunities to explore movement refines motor coordination and strengthens the vital link between the body and the brain. So, let’s get moving!

👇 Try this today: Pick a body part, wiggle it (or bounce it, tap it, or shake it!), and see how your little one responds! What move got the biggest reaction? Tell us in the comments! 👇

Join GrowBabyGrow at Arts in Play on Saturdays at noon, in person at Family Health Centers, Inc. (East Broadway).

1, 2, 3... look at ME! 👶🏼✨

Isn’t it delightful to watch your baby discover their delicate hands, scuff their adorable feet, and start exploring the world around them?

In no time, they go from pushing up on their elbows and army crawling to balancing on hands and knees! And just like that... the thrills keep coming! 🏃‍♂️💨

Next thing you know, your Waddler is pulling up on wobbly legs and cruising apart-together, and the adventure speeds up. And then, all of a sudden, you’ve got a confident Toddler showing off their fancy moves, building speed, and learning to isolate movements in one body part while keeping the rest still!

Every wobble, step, and tumble is laying the foundation for strength, balance, and independence. Motor development builds from the inside out. What a joy to see them discovering their BRILLIANT BODIES and learning how to make them “go!” 💪🚀✨

Pop, fly, wiggle, and race as we discover all the ways our bodies move through SPACE! 🤸🏽‍♀️

Did you know that the brain uses many of the same pathways for thinking and doing? As your little one learns to jump, balance, stop, go, and control their movements, they're also building important skills for self-regulation, focus, and impulse control.

🧠✨ Through playful movement challenges, children practice coordinating their bodies, following directions, and managing big actions. These early experiences help lay the foundation for emotional regulation and school readiness while having tons of fun with you along the way!

☀️ It’s Sum-Sum-SUMMERTIME! 🌞✈️🚉🚗

Are travel plans in your future, or have you recently returned from an adventure? Vacation season often means little bodies are spending extra time in strollers, car seats, airplanes, and waiting rooms. That's why movement breaks are so important!

Try exploring all the ways you can move and dance in your own Self Space, then challenge your little one to travel through General Space, finding safe, open spaces to move, stop, and go. 🏃‍♀️🚴🏽🏊🏼‍♀️

Learning when to stop and go takes a lot of body control. These playful movement experiences help build the foundation for self-regulation, focus, and emotional control. When children learn to manage their bodies, they're developing skills that will eventually help them manage big feelings too, with your loving guidance and support along the way. ❤️

It’s almost time! Time to investigate sounds in this week’s ✨Sound & Rhythm Atelier🎶 Reggio-Inspired Playgroup!

🔍Are you ready to fill, shake & discover? What about making music with our breath? And who says pots, pans and spoons only belong in the kitchen?

Join us on Saturday Family Health Centers, Inc. and discover what sounds are waiting to be uncovered in simple, everyday materials.

💬 Let us know below: What “found instruments” made up your childhood homemade band? 👇

✨ ✨ ✨

Love the idea of exploring sound and rhythm using open-ended loose parts with your little one, but not the mess that comes with it?

Then join our “Rhythm & Sound Atelier” Reggio-Inspired Playgroup, where we’ll have all the materials ready for you and your child to investigate sound together! Last week, we were amazed by the feeling of banging the drums, whooshing the rainstick, scraping the ridges on our güiro, and stamping with bells on our ankles. This week, it’s all about wondering… What sounds are waiting to be discovered in “found instruments?”

🥁🎐Which materials make the loudest or softest sound?
💓Can you sense a heartbeat?
🌬️What sounds can your breath make?
🖍️Can we draw sound?

💬 Let us know below: What's the most unexpected thing your child has turned into an instrument? 👇
