We help children reach their potential
By empowering parents raise emotionally well-balanced, more coordinated and happier children who are able to easily integrate the environment around them, we teach why motor skills matter
Welcome to
Motor Skills Matter!
As pediatric specialists, we recognize the challenges and stressors of being new parents. We want to emphasize and help simplify the significance of wakeful play throughout infant development.
The motor skills developed during infancy lay the groundwork for future learning and self-esteem. When movement is a positive experience, infants are more likely to engage in repeated practice.
Our established approach to fostering baby movement and play has proven successful in promoting overall development.

The child learns while living and any part of living that is enjoyable is also play.”
