The Center for Parenting Development is dedicated to the development of children through parental empowerment
The goal is to raise awareness of the importance of early development and how important touch is in the first days of a child’s life.
Through joint work we focus on the development of parental competencies, dialogue and encouraging open discussion about parenting through expert advice and exchange of experiences with other parents in the group, to work together in the role of parents which, by changing the parenting paradigm in the last few generations, has destabilized parents and their self-esteem.

Our services
MASSAGE FOR BABIES UP TO 12 MONTHS AGE
The workshop includes 5 meetings once a week lasting 90 minutes. In each workshop you will learn massage techniques for individual body parts and their benefits. Due to group dynamics, socializing and sharing experiences, we work in small groups of up to 6 parents and babies. Certified IAIM instructors show movements on the doll with weight, and parents massage their baby.
BABY HANDLING
We are soon learning to properly raise, feed, bathe and swaddle a baby. We focus on the correct patterns of movement from birth until the child walks.
MASSAGE FOR CHILDREN OF PRESCHOOL AND SCHOOL AGE
3-6 meetings lasting 45-60 minutes. The instructor conveys the massage technique through a story drawed with movements with the help of memo picture cards that she leaves for parents, kindergarten or class to use.
