Why learn Infant Massage in your childcare setting?
Massage is the most natural way of communicating with a child before they are able to talk. Health practitioners actively signpost new parents to baby massage courses to assist with bonding, confidence, alleviate common childhood problems and to help with post natal depression.
Help to assist the transition from home to a childcare setting by offering this same nurturing touch through gentle infant massage.
