Hi to all the mama’s and Dada’s of Wicklow and South Dublin! My name is Amy and I am so excited to be bringing the amazing bloom baby classes to you in July!
I have worked with young children for twenty years now and have always been passionate about learning and development in the early years. Initially training within a day care in the UK and then going on to complete a degree in early childhood, I then went on to work as a nanny. I have been lucky to have lived and worked in many amazing locations around the globe. Whilst doing this I went to many captivating baby and toddler classes and always dreamt that one day when I finally settled, I would run my own.
Fast forward to 2020 when my own little guy arrived. I found myself, a new Mama in a new area and to top it off… in the middle of a pandemic! I was so desperate to meet others in the same boat and to experience attending classes and seeing my little boy thrive from them. Despite loving all the one-on-one time that we had during the pandemic, I really feel we missed so much. This has given me the motivation to finally take the leap with my dream to teach baby and parent classes.
I had seen friends in the UK absolutely raving on social media about the Bloom classes they were attending with their little ones, and it felt like a sign. The classes are researched and designed to aid our baby’s sensory development with beautiful colourful bespoke resources, like the rainbow parachute and our friend cooper the caterpillar. Bloom also has its own seriously catchy music which you’re most definitely going to find yourself singing whilst you load the dishwasher!
I am so looking forward to meeting you and showing you the magic of bloom baby classes!
Our sessions are packed full of back to back activities to encourage baby's physical, emotional, cognitive and social development so your little one is constantly learning throughout the session. We explain the research and science behind each activity we do so that you understand exactly why we do it and what the benefits are for you and baby.
🐛 Caterpillar Club (6 weeks to 6 months)
A gentle baby development class with a focus on encouraging bonding with your little one. Our Caterpillar class awakens baby's first senses and stimulates in a fun, yet soothing way, using bubbles, parachutes, lights, songs, pompoms, tummy time and baby development moves, ending the class with a relaxing massage for baby to help them drift into a long nap.
🐝 Busy Bees (6 months to 15 months or until confidently walking)
A fun, lively musical baby development class encouraging fine and gross motor skills, body awareness, early language acquisition, rhythm and tempo. Building on from the gentle activities of Caterpillar Club this session uses instruments, dancing, clicking sticks, Makaton and more to bring on your baby's all round development. Please note classes are NOT suitable for proficient walkers.
With a different theme each session to explore, no week is the same! All set to our unique Bloom soundtrack 🎶
