Class Descriptions

Please see our age group descriptions to decide what would be best for your student, or contact us and we can help sign them up. Our classes are not separated by specific ages, but instead by age groups and the child’s development.

Younger Baby Classes (YB)

These classes all start with stretching and end with infant massage. In the middle, we use multi-sensory cues to stimulate the brain to include visual tracking, audio tracking, gentle gross motor skills, music & movement, and vestibular activities. Much emphasis is placed on attachment and bonding and parent/caretaker – child interaction and communication. A lot of “sensory conditioning” happens in these beginning classes.   These are our youngest “brainy babies”!

Older Baby Classes (OB)

These are our new movers and shakers! In this class, we pump up the stimuli just a tad and start to introduce social learning activities. These classes include core activities, learning activities, and sensory activities. We start modeling independence, social learning, and circle time. Importance is placed on all the learning tools introduced in the younger baby class, but with an older baby “on-the-move” twist. No walkers, please.

Younger Toddler Classes (TOD)

These classes introduce responsibility with “Keys of Knowledge”. We start to practice more right brain/left brain activity-based learning. We open and close the circle at every class and use our bodies! Gross motor activities are introduced as well as taking turns, sharing, and loving and kindness activities. There is a lot of social learning going on in these classes as well as some child-directed activities. We build with our hands, feel with our feet, and explore with our minds. This class is appropriate for children who are walking to 24 months. No crawlers, please. Children should be able to walk without assistance.

Older Toddler Class (OT)

These are our experienced OTB students! They continue to use their “Keys of Knowledge”. These toddlers are 24 – 36 months old and stable on their feet. In the Older Toddler classes, we work on social learning, more difficult cognitive learning challenges, and we participate in projects (puzzles, community structures, teamwork). We dig deeper into exploring our feelings and emotions and we practice “self-control” through class exercises. The curriculum is bumped up a little and focus is placed on using specific learning tools and “our words”.  This is where the real fun begins!

Young Children Class (YC) 

These classes are specifically designed for our 3 – 6-year-olds. We concentrate on Brain Gym principals, and right brain/left brain activities. We introduce team-building exercises and we start to explore the world around us, and talk about it! At this age, we take advantage of the brain’s amazing growth and start learning about ideas and thinking processes’. We introduce troubleshooting strategies and exercises and celebrate free thought. This class includes arts & crafts projects, self-reflection, and social learning principles. We introduce directives and explore expectations. There is a strong emphasis placed on fine motor skills in this older class.

Dad’s Class

This class is a normal OTB curriculum class, but with only the dads! (Grandpas are always welcome too!).  This class is designed to encourage attachment & bonding between fathers and their children.  Dad’s can relate to other dads in the class.

Sensory Class

This class is set up for all of our movers and shakers on their feet or on their knees!  Older Babies about to walk, Toddlers (young and older), as well as Young Children are invited to this very special “sensory class”. This is not a typical OTB class – this is a HIGHLY Multi-Sensory class! In this class, we do a few songs, but focus is placed on sensory integration (getting MESSY!). Every week will be packed with heavy sensory activities and exercises to help our brains regulate.  Children and parents should always come prepared for messy play.  Clothes that can get messy should be worn, and always come with a package of wipes! Messy is Magnificent!
