Wellness Services
As parents, we experience worries & questions, but few resources are available that are clear, reliable, and personalized. Villages brings you clarity and confidence in supporting your children's development.
PlayGroups
Mommy and me style groups including:
infant massage
TummyTime!™ Method
make your own sensory bin
developmental play skills for infants from birth to walking
Each group welcomes up to 4-8 adult + child participants depending on class and location. This allows for the group to be an intimate & personalized bonding experience while creating connections with other families.
We know babies' schedules are constantly changing, and we welcome feeding, napping, and soothing at anytime during playgroup. These groups are just as much for the parent as they are for the child, and even a baby doll can be used for hands on learning!
You can virtually participate in any playgroup live-online!
Infant feeding
One of mom's biggest worries, and one of the areas we understand best.
Don't let feeding your child be an added stress. Find support for:
breastfeeding
bottle feeding
tongue tie
pre/post frenectomy
introducing solids
From online courses to in-person support, we have feeding services to meet your needs.
Private wellness sessions
Meant to bridge the gap between parents' general questions & concerns, and the usual 'wait & see' advice they receive.
Focused on teaching age appropriate play, movement, and activities to connect with your child and to ensure their development is on track.
Informational one-on-one parent coaching.
Doesn't constitute therapy or replace the need for in-depth evaluation & assessments, goal driven services, and/or medical advice & treatment.
These services are available virtually and as well as in your own home.
Why Wellness
Society understands wellness & prevention as it applies to adults, but the same is lacking when it comes to our children:
1.
Understand how to observe and recognize the milestones your child is working on, from newborn to school-aged.
2.
Learn strategies to set up and prepare your child's environment for purposeful play according to their specific interests, needs, and skill level.
3.
Gain confidence in how things are going with your child's development.
4.
Bond with your child and use activities that you and your entire family can enjoy together.
5.
Build a community of support by creating relationships with other moms and families during group classes, or with your Villages therapist who is there to support you on your family's journey.
6.
Be empowered as you learn to read your child's cues and know when and how to react, assist, or intervene.
Most Importantly
Better wellness support leads to prevention and early detection. Early detection leads to better outcomes down the road when services aren't unnecessarily delayed.

“Casie is a wonderful teacher and makes you feel at ease during class. She teaches great techniques to use for the littles while getting to spend time with your baby and other moms. We will definitely participate in more classes in the future!”

“I had a great experience and would highly recommend them! My virtual experience was super convenient and even more helpful. My little one wasn’t having any major issues but I really wanted to learn how to better help him master the skills he had been working on. Bethaney did just that. Looking forward to booking another session as my munchkin continues progressing.”

“Tummy time with Cassie has helped my daughter so much! It also taught me so much about activities techniques that make tummy time fun and easy. My daughter had torticollis and head shaping on her preferred side and after working with Cassie she is doing wonderful! Tummy time is a fun & engaging activity for both of us now. Highly recommend to anyone who wants to learn more about tummy time activities, how to make it enjoyable for your little, and become more confident as a parent!.”
