Blooming Babies is a NEW class at the Darien YMCA! This interactive 6-week program focuses on supporting bonding, encouraging developmental milestones, and creating opportunities for movements, all in a nurturing and supportive environment. As a child and parent group, a variety of topics are discussed while integrating music, infant massage, literature and play.

Blooming Babies is led by Sharon Hoffner, PT, DPT and Jennie Miklautsch, MEd. Sharon has been working with children for over 27 years as a pediatric physical therapist but started her career with a degree in dance and teaching movement classes. Jennie has been an early childhood educator for 27 years, working with infants and toddlers and their families for the past 24 years.
