Coder Dojo

Computers are the future and children need to know how to use them.

Infant Massage

Why Infant Massage?
Numerous studies have shown the many developmental benefits of positive contact as part of a baby's early life. Touch is your baby’s first language and infant massage is one of the most natural and pleasant methods of providing this early nurturing contact. Children learn and take in information from the world through all their senses. By providing activities to engage your child’s senses, you are helping to build new brain connections and make your child more knowledgeable. During these sessions parents will learn what senses are strongest in young children and how to best support new learning. Activities will focus on the sense of touch and how children learn through touch. Baby massage is proven to have countless benefits including improved growth and development, improved immunity, sleep, and bonding with parents. Early literacy gives families the tools they need to succeed.
