Baby & caregiver classes in Plano
Learn how to play with your baby as they grow.
Therapist-led developmental classes for pre-crawlers and crawlers, with hands-on practice for you and your baby. Explore movement, communication, and connection together, then leave with practical ideas to keep learning at home.
Purposeful play
From finding a more comfortable way to practice tummy time to knowing how to respond to a new babble, Little Sprouts gives you a place to learn and try things together. Your therapist demonstrates activities, explains the skills behind them, and helps you adapt the play to your baby's current stage.
Movement, sensory exploration, early communication, problem-solving, and social connection come together through play, songs, and everyday interaction. The goal is to help you feel more confident supporting your baby between classes.
Who it's for
Two stages of play
Your baby's current skills help guide the activities. There is room to watch, try, pause, and participate at their own pace.
For the early discoveries before crawling: lifting, looking, reaching, rolling, and connecting with you.
Featured themes: Tummy Time & Togetherness; Ready, Set, Roll!; Little Eyes & Busy Hands.
For babies discovering how to move toward what interests them, explore with their hands, and communicate in new ways.
Featured themes: Little Movers, Big Voices!; Come Find Me!; Hands On!

What a class looks like
Each themed class combines caregiver learning with time to explore. You might try a new tummy-time position, encourage your baby through a crawling tunnel, or practice pausing and responding during a babbling conversation.
Included with each class
One hour with an experienced therapist who explains the activities and helps you try them with your baby.
A parent-friendly recap with activity ideas, practical tips, and a play challenge to try during the week. You can use everyday routines and familiar objects.
Ask about the play you're practicing and share what you're noticing. Learn alongside other caregivers while your therapist helps you find ways to participate.
A glimpse of the take-home learning
When your baby makes a sound, try copying it back. Pause and give them time to respond. Notice whether they make another sound, smile, or watch your face. Follow their cues and take a break when they need one.
Simple ideas like this help you bring the week's focus into time you already spend together.
The experience behind the curriculum
The Little Sprouts curriculum was developed by Danielle Sauer, MOT, OTR/L. Her background includes Level IV NICU care, developmental evaluation, positioning and handling, sensory regulation, and caregiver education.
That experience shapes a practical approach: explain the skill, demonstrate the play, and help caregivers find ways to use it with their own baby.
