We come to BabySteps about four times a week. I think that a spacious environment is
crucial for my child's holistic development. Unfortunately, my house does not have such
space, unlike BabyStep's spacious playrooms and Free Play Area. Jago is much more
active, and willing to initiate tasks after his sessions at BabySteps. While he gets the
opportunity to crawl freely and interact with other babies, I can sit back, relax and
sip on my coffee in the relaxation area!

I never knew therapeutic free play could be so powerful. As a parent, having to give up
giving instruction is hard. However, once a child is exposed to free play, the sky
really is the limit! There is so much more potential to be discovered in my son, I
noticed that my son controls and expresses his emotion way better in the play room and
it is better because there is no voice around telling him what to do constantly. The
freedom that therapeutic play offers has such a great impact on a child’s emotional
growth. The play specialist at BabySteps is very caring, she really understands what the
child is thinking. After I understood what the therapeutic approach really is, and that
the teacher is not a leader, the subtle connection is so much stronger. She really knows
how to compliment the child.

Joined the therapeutic play program, because I wanted my son to open up. After joining
therapeutic play, he really started to open up more, and it is an exciting moment when
he misses the play specialist and his classmates. I really appreciate the small class
size, because he receives a lot more attention. I can see a very positive emotional
development in my son. Coming to the therapeutic play program also acts as a resource to
learn more tips and techniques in parenting. Also, I am happy with the spacious and
clean space!

I have always wanted my son to have fun through music, to have a healthy emotional
development, and to have something which helps him control his own emotions. The music
specialist at BabySteps is very professional and well educated in music. I was very
amazed the moment my son started playing with the different instruments. Randomly, the
music specialist was able to perform a song on the spot to match with the rhythm my son
was making. I feel that the program is very child-led and interactive. My son now feels
happier and less shy.
