Program Themes
This program is designed in two parts:

• Pre-Locomotion Stage (newborn – five months)
• Locomotion Stage (six - twelve months)

Developmental Movement
FloorPlay is central to the development of these basic neuro-physical movements that babies naturally perform that build their brain body and joy of movement. A dynamic foundation for movement, communication and learning.

Senses and Perceptions
Through their six senses, babies learn to focus their attention, and accept, reject or modulate their responses to sensory stimulation that enhances learning skills.

Communication and Social Interactions
Babies communicate their intent through natural expressive gestures and postures and learn how to interpret the nonverbal messages of adults in social interactions.

Reflexes, Righting Reactions & Equilibrium Responses
In natural movement development, babies integrate early reflexes, establish a dynamic upright posture and develop balance and equilibrium skills to move in all directions.

Learning and Environment
FloorPlay encourages babies to create new movement strategies to explore their environment and engage in age appropriate activities, from motivation to mastery.
