    Child'Space  is offered in small group classes or private lessons for parents and their babies, as well as other caregivers and family members.  Group classes are held at Forty Carrots Family Center in Sarasota and at Florida Center for Child and Family Development in North Port.  Sessions can also be held in the privacy of your own home and may be funded through the Sarasota Healthy Start program. Each session includes:

  • Face to Face play to encourage focus, sound and communication
  • Analysis of baby's emerging developmental stage and activities to support current and emerging motor skills

"I've been using Child'Space in my work with children with Developmental Delays in the public school system.  Parents and teachers have reported motor, cognitive, and behavioral improvements, sometimes very quickly.  I've had similar results in my private practice with infants as young as two months."  Carol R. Bettendorf, PT, MS, PCS (Pediatric Certified Specialist); Birth to Three & Beyond Pediatric Therapies, LLC, Lake Villa, IL


"I learned what I need to do with Cassie to teach her motor skills like rolling over, how to focus, and how to feel her body parts.  I was happy when Barbara came to work with her; I could see that Cassie was definitely learning." 
Lindsay Carter, Mother
