A home and a toddler? A whirlwind of giggles, crumbs, chaos, and tiny adventures!

Through this Stimulation Training Program, we assisted the family in creating toddler-friendly play spaces, encouraging purposeful exploration, and providing a visual stimulation activity poster for the caregiver. All tailored specifically to their home and available toys.

We also offered guidance on potty-training readiness, what to include in a home emergency kit, and provided a laminated emergency contact list for quick access on the fridge.

It is more than wanting the best for your child, it is a desire to fulfill what you are called for as a parent and caregiver.

With a new family intake this week, I am reminded of how beautiful it is to cultivate one's environment for a new season, for new life.

The Stimulation Training program focuses on understanding your home and your heart, and then pursuing new stimulation intentionally. Practically, the program focuses on play activities, systems for your home and safety guidelines.

It is more than wanting what is best for your child, it's a deeper desire to fulfill what you are called for, with what you have and where you are.

Interested? Book by sending a WhatsApp, or leave a message below and we'll contact you.

Stimulation Training assists parents to implement the following in their home, alongside with their chosen caregiver/nanny:

1. Effective communication between the parents and caregiver (resources to assist you in this manner can be made).
2. Purposeful play spaces and ideas, with items you already have in your home.
3. Educational experience regarding your little one's developmental stage and milestones.
4. Implementation of safety guidelines to keep your little one safe and protected at all times.

*Today marked the last session with the recent family intake. We implemented an observation book for the caregiver (uniquely designed with their requirements). We also made a visual poster with all the stimulation activities. The family also received a report with all the topics discussed during the training.

The Stimulation Training for Babies & Toddlers is a beautiful space of collaboration between the therapist, nanny, and parents.
It focuses on creating and being creative with spaces, new ideas, and plans, while understanding the heart, needs, and wants of both the parents and their caregiver or nanny.

Through this program, the occupational therapist approaches each family with an open mind, working uniquely with their routines and environment. The purpose is to stimulate the family’s baby or toddler through play in their home setting, supporting development and growth toward their best potential.

We covered a home intake assessment, the mother–nanny relationship, and ways to communicate and manage routines. We also discussed developmental stages and supporting the transition back to work after maternity leave. The next few weeks we will focus on practical stimulation, play ideas and setting up appropriate play spaces at home.

The Stimulation Training declares this:

My home is enough. I have everything I need. I trust my caregiver and my home to be the best for my child in the season that they are in.

The Stimulation Training tailers, shapes and cultivates what you already have inside of your home. Now, it becomes purpose and we intentionally create it together.
