What to expect:

Grow, discover, marvel

Your baby is becoming more mobile, more curious, more independent – and brings something new every day. In the course, you will receive loving inspiration for play, movement, and development – appropriate for this active, often challenging phase of life. The whole thing is accompanied by cheerful songs and simple rhymes that create rituals, promote language acquisition, and give you shared moments full of closeness and joy.

Everyday life with a toddler – exchange & orientation

Eating at the family table, the first tantrum, more independence: everyday life is changing noticeably. In a safe environment, you can ask questions, exchange ideas, and discover new perspectives.

Strengthening bonds – through all the changes

The world is getting bigger – and at the same time, your child needs you more than ever. We support you in consciously shaping your relationship and strengthening trust – even when there is a lot going on.
