Description
At the time of birth, our senses are not yet fully developed. They gradually mature as we encounter more varied sensory experiences. This information is all gathered in the brain where it creates, develops and strengthens nerve connections to process and respond to it. This results in more complex learning tasks and more cognitive and overall development. This process is the most important in the first three years of a child’s life, when the brain grows at a fast rate. Therefore, sensory learning and exposing your baby to as many varied sensory experiences as possible is crucial to brain development.
Join Mommy Connections Durham and Snooze Room as we bring you our first sensory-based program, Sensory Socials!
This 4-week winter program is geared toward parents with babies 6months – 18months who are looking for a more relaxing, less overwhelming, yet stimulating environment for their children, and still crave that socialization, interaction and connection for their kids as well as for themselves.
Each week will offer a world of sensory play as Snooze Room is a multi-sensory environment, better known as Snoezelen. A Snoezelen is a special place that offers a relaxing atmosphere with pleasant surroundings, soothing sounds, tactile experiences, massage, vibrations and gentle movement. Interesting light effects and comfortable seating allows you to self regulate by choosing sensations.
Parents have the opportunity to engage in play with their children or have the opportunity to unwind, de-stress, de-compress and connect with other parents in the lounge area which offers the quiet we relish from day-to-day.
This session runs for 4 weeks at Snooze Room in Pickering beginning on Friday, February 7 – February 28 from 10am – 11:30am.
Included in your $100+ HST registration fee is:
- 4 classes full of sensory play in any of Snooze Room’s various areas, bonding opportunities and connection
- Time to bond with your child(ren) and form lasting relationships with the same group each week
- an opportunity to hear from local businesses geared toward all things baby
