Early stimulation refers to activities designed to promote a baby’s cognitive, sensory, motor, and emotional development during the first years of life. This period is critical because the brain is rapidly developing, forming strong neural connections that impact learning, behavior, and overall well-being

Early stimulation can begin from birth, as even newborns benefit from sensory and bonding activities. However, the type of stimulation will vary depending on the baby’s age and developmental stage.

Early stimulation helps with:

• Strengthening brain development and neural connections.

• Improving fine and gross motor skills.

• Enhancing language and communication (including baby sign language).

• Supporting emotional regulation and reducing stress.

• Encouraging curiosity and learning.

• Strengthening the bond between parents and baby.

Sessions are personalized based on the baby’s needs and may include:

• Sensory stimulation (textures, lights, sounds, and smells).

• Motor skill exercises (tummy time, grasping, crawling support).

• Language development (interactive songs, early communication techniques).

• Baby sign language (teaching simple signs to help babies communicate before they can speak).

• Sight reading (introducing words visually to support early literacy).

• Baby massage (to support relaxation, digestion, and colic relief).

• Cognitive games (object permanence, cause-and-effect activities).

Sessions typically last 1 to 2 hours, depending on the baby’s age and engagement level. The duration is flexible to ensure the baby remains comfortable and benefits fully from the activities.

Baby sign language helps infants express their needs before they can speak, reducing frustration and enhancing communication skills. It can:

• Strengthen the bond between parents and baby.

• Reduce crying and tantrums caused by communication barriers.

• Improve language development and cognitive skills.

• Encourage early social interaction.

Yes! Gentle techniques such as baby massage and sensory regulation can help soothe colic, aid digestion, and promote relaxation, leading to better sleep patterns.

No, early stimulation is beneficial for all babies, not just those with delays. It helps every child maximize their potential by strengthening brain connections, improving motor skills, and enhancing cognitive and emotional development.

Signs of progress may include:

• Improved motor coordination (grasping, rolling, sitting, crawling).

• Increased curiosity and interaction.

• Better focus and attention.

• More engagement in sounds, words, or facial expressions.

• Enhanced ability to self-soothe and regulate emotions.

Absolutely! Parental involvement is highly encouraged. I provide guidance so you can continue the activities at home and integrate them into daily routines.

The frequency depends on your goals and the baby’s needs. Some parents prefer weekly sessions, while others choose biweekly or more frequent short sessions. I can help you determine what works best for your baby’s development.

You can book a session by emailing me at Nayeli.Dejuan@gmail.com or giving me a call at (646)-355-5367

I also offer same-day bookings for parents who need a flexible option.

No, I provide all necessary materials. However, I may suggest simple items you can use at home to continue stimulation between sessions.
