Baby Course: CANCELLED

A course for babies 0-12 months.

We learn about the unique development of your baby and practical skills for partnership. Learn principles and skills that will make parenthood more enjoyable for you and your baby.

This course is created by Pennie Brownlee, based on the learnings of Dr Emmi Pikler and supported by the latest brain research.

You'll learn about:

- Respectful care origins and pedagogy
- Care moments and routines
- Movement and brain development
- Culture vs biological expectations
- Skills for partnership
- Language and beliefs
- Mindfulness and heart-centred care
- Play and brain development
- Building a foundation for cooperation
- The culture of respect

A typical session:

We always start with a treasured ritual of morning tea as a time to connect with each other and chat. Each session follows a similar rhythm of a recap of last weeks topic, this weeks topic and in depth teaching, discussion and an exercise that exemplifies the theme, a guided silent observation of the children and closure of the class. All of this happens while responding to the children as they need you or as they play. You and your baby are welcome in any state, without judgement! We try to be outside as much as possible and if it's too cold or windy for the little ones, we'll be inside in the lounge.

"Dagmar’s baby course was such a lovely way to spend mornings throughout our fourth trimester. It was a really supportive atmosphere and her garden was a gorgeous spot to spend a couple of hours each week. Her content was delivered in a really thoughtful way and will definitely be helpful along my parenting journey." - Kate

"We looked forward to this each week and loved relaxing in Dagmar’s gorgeous garden, with other like-minded mums and their bubbas.
