  • We have activities for the entire hour of each class, however, you may arrive and leave as you please.

  • Each class is taught by a pediatric physical therapist and a pediatric speech therapist. You can expect to learn and ask questions related to development including gross/fine motor, speech/language, social-cognitive development, feeding, and play activities. Individual class descriptions can be found [here https://www.yearonewellness.com/inperson-baby-play-classes].

  • Yes! Babies are constantly growing and ready to learn new skills! We host classes each month and you’re free to come to as many classes as you want with all your questions, or just to play!

  • A baby play class is the perfect gift to create lasting memories for a family. You can choose to gift a class to a friend/family member or sponsor a class to a family in need. You can purchase a gifted or sponsored class.

  • Please come prepared with anything you’d need to take care of your baby during our hour together (diapers, wipes, food, etc), and socks for each adult attending the class. Our class space is full of thick soft mats, and toys will be provided. We also have a private bathroom with a changing table, and water provided. However, you may choose to bring your own baby blanket and a small few toys.

  • We know how stressful parking can be with a baby. However, we provide no-stress parking! There is ample open-lot parking right outside Mi Casa Es Tu Casa. It’s very easy to park and walk in with your car seat, stroller, and baby. Handicapped parking is available

  • Absolutely! If you purchase our 3-class package or sign up for multiple individual classes you can mix and match your classes. As your baby gets older, feel free to graduate from our Play & Coo class to our Cruise & Chat class. Babies are constantly ready for new skills and activities! We encourage you to attend more than one class as your baby grows.
