Tippy Toes - Movement, Music, & Play
Creative Movement for Children with Special Needs
(ages 6 weeks - 4 years old)

Tippy Toes is a physical session for both parent and child.  By exploring our child's movement patterns we enrich our understanding of their world and develop new ideas of communicating and supporting them on their journey.

Tippy Toes program focuses on:  Creative movement taught through rhyme and chanting games, musical instrument playing, exercising important movement patterns for brain growth, working with props, and just enjoying your child for who he or she is and who he or she is becoming.

  • Encourages the development of secure relationships.
  • Provides opportunities to explore a variety of sensory and motor skills.
  • Provides social/emotional development to interact with each other and express themselves freely.
  • Encourages movement for all abilities to increase their memory and ability to communicate.
  • Allows parent/caregiver to enjoy their child for who they are and not what they are diagnosed with.

The Eagle Mount Tippy Toes program recognizes that each child is unique and does not always correspond to the development age.  Children will be placed in the appropriate class for their ability.
