Sprouts Group

(4-6 month olds)

At Little Seeds, we continue to support moms and their babies as they reach new milestones in their early development. Our weekly in-person cohort sessions are designed for babies aged 4-6 months, providing a chance for you to connect with your baby and other moms during this exciting stage.

Each week, we focus on a different topic, exploring the milestones and developmental changes typical for this age range. From baby’s first sounds to tummy time and early social interaction, our sessions provide valuable insights and practical tips to support your baby’s growth.

These sessions offer you and your baby an opportunity to bond, engage in developmental activities, and connect with other moms navigating similar experiences in their parenting journey.

Join us to create lasting memories with your little one and be part of a supportive community!

Our Postpartum Cohort groups are designed to provide supportive space for moms and their little ones to connect, learn, and grow together during your baby’s first year of life.

Each session is 8 weeks long and will meet weekly for 60 minutes. These sessions are a chance for you to bond with your little one, grow in community with other moms in similar parenting stages, and create meaningful memories and lasting relationships. There will be a general consistency to each meeting and across all groups, which will include:

  • Welcome and Introductions: introducing mama and baby to the group

  • Celebrations and Challenges: an opportunity to share and listen to each mother’s celebration and challenge for the previous week

  • Songs: to promote bonding and development

  • Weekly Topic Discussion relevant to the specific age group and/or parenting

  • Goodbyes

Our Sprouts group is geared towards babies 4-6 months old. Topics may include:
