A course to help you feel confident in running & filling mom& baby classes, withough having run groups before, spending a lot ot time creating content, or thinking you need to have everything perfect & organized..
Thank you, Thank You, Thank You. This course changed my life!
"Just finished your course and I am so sad it's over! It was soooo good, exactly what I needed, and it was truly divine intervention that I found you when I did. Thank you, thank you, thank you. This course changed my life! Now I just have to figure out how to transition from my part-time job to do this instead".

You want to stand out ... and get clients!
You want a thriving program that is fun, engaging, and helps navigate the overwhelm of motherhood.et clients!
You want financial success, time freedom, and most importantly to make a positive impact with every single person you work with.
With actionable content videos (discussing topics such as infant development, primitive reflexes, attachment/bonding, and even sensory processing), demo videos of all the songs and play activities I do in my own classes, and done-for-you lesson plans and documentation templates, you will be running (and filling) your mom & baby classes before you know it! These strategies are based on the importance of bonding between parent & baby, adult learning principles (hint: less is more and repetition is key!) and will guide you in how to support 'typical' baby development in fun and engaging ways.
And you'll never have to feel overwhelmed or "stuck" on what to teach in your classes again ... ever!
I made $800 in profit after running my first class!
"After the birth of my first daughter, I spent a lot of time thinking about how I could support new mom. I took many continuing education courses, but didn't DO anything about it. After having my own daughter, I started to attend mom & baby groups with her, and knew where my passion lay. I was tired of going to groups where there was little structure, inconsistent advice, and judgemental facilitators.... I knew as an occupational therapist, I could do this better!
I decided to press the easy button and registered for the Babies @ Play: Running Mom & Baby Classes Made Easy program! I loved it and started running my own mom & baby classes called Growing Together, which I now run on a regular basis as one branch of my business.

You think you need LOADS of client (or group) experience before you run your classes ... after all, this part is so important. How do you start running classes when you don't feel confident or experienced enough, to begin with?.
You assume that you need a BIG email list and a BIG social media following in order to get clients .... The problem is, you're not clear on how to get clients in the first place, so this assumption makes sense to you.
You are worried about HOW to share all of your knowledge without overwhelming the moms in your groups - You have so much wonderful information to share on maternal and baby health and development, but how do you organize it into manageable shareable pieces?
You feel uncomfortable investing in your business BEFORE you make money ... Maybe, you're still caught up in this belief out of fear of going into debt.
You aren't sure HOW you're going to make it work with your current daily priorities and responsibilities - You have a full or part-time job, are a parent or caring for parents and simply don't have the time to figure everything out on your own, and don't want to waste time (and money) with trial-and-error.
You OBSESSIVELY think about how to turn this dream into a reality or have already tried, but you feel held back or "stuck" - Maybe you feel like a "fraud", and you're secretly afraid that you can't deliver the value you want to deliver and that no-one will pay to work with you. Maybe it feels like you just don't know enough.
Continuing to invest time, money, and effort into strategies that aren't working...
Overwhelmed with how to take your professional education and turn it into a group program (this was my biggest problem!)
Not convinced that you can actually make this work enough to quit your job...
Scared of putting yourself out there .... because - what if you FAIL?!
You can't move forward because you are exhausted, tired, and overwhelmed
You have SO many questions and don't know where to start.
Kaili offer the perspective of a mother and practitioner in this thoughtfully crafted series, providing a wealth of information for providers to observe and support the healthy development of babies and their parents.
Kaili directly addresses caregiving topics that parents struggle with and promotes the co-regulation and bonding of parent/baby through a soothing and predictable routine to begin and end each class. The activities she demonstrates in the videos are fun and easy to learn, and she describes in detail the ways that each activity contributes to baby's development.
In addition, she provides a straightforward business model with advice based on her own experience of developing and running these groups many times over.
I would wholeheartedly recommed this course to anyone who wishes to support new parents in their journey to becoming a family.

But first...
I'm Kaili, your Baby Guru.
After I had my first child, I developed a passion for all things mom & baby (I am guessing that is why you are here too!). I had always been drawn to working with babies, but never really got the opportunity to fully embrace that role in my first 10 years working as a pediatric occupational therapist. And so, I decided it was time to take matters into my own hands and start my own business .... the business of my dreams.
When I first really decided to get started running my classes, I was struggling, frustrated, and had no idea what to do ... I felt super nervous, and was down right scared.
Scared to put myself out there ..... and scared to fail!
I tried everything: I took countless online courses to try to help me figure out how to get started, I searched for other practitioners doing something similar to see how they structured their classes.
I began "marketing" myself by holding free talks where sometimes only 2 people showed up, I made flyers on my printer at home and started posting them on telephone poles in my neighbourhood (with my 8-month old in to), and I waited for referrals that never came ...
And none of it workd.
After a few months of this intense effort and many 'failed' attempts,
I decided things had to change. That's when I made my "No Plan B Commitment" to myself.
6 Modules
On infant development (0-2 yrs), attachment& bonding, primitive reflexes, basic sensory processing, mama "pain points", and business tips
Done-For-You Curriculum
Step-by-step lesson plans for each class level (1-3) + demo videos for all songs and activities. There is also videos of me running an entire Level 1 & Level 2 class, and some samples of how I brought my classes online.
Customizable Templates
Done-For-You templates and handouts that you can customize as needed to fit your business - including email, documentation, invoicing, consent/registration/waiver form samples.
After completing the program, I ran my first full class with 8 moms & babies, and it was truly incredible!
I had honestly never thought about running mom and baby groups until I saw the posting on the Pediatric Occupational Therapy group on FB. As I read more, I realized this was the missing piece of my business model and something I absolutely want to incorporate since it fit so well into our wellness centre model. Gripped by self-doubt and timidness with leading a group, I realized it was me that was holding me back. I was inspired that you had done it successfully, and that you had been able to shape your OT training around this concept of a mom & baby class. After completing the program, I ran my first full class with 8 moms and babies, and it was truly incredible!
I learned so much from them, learned how the class could flow, and became even more passionate about this population.
If anyone is on the fence about this program, my advice is "just do it"! I have now learned how leading this type of class is such a great opportunity to educate parents on toys, sleep, development, etc and set them up for success (vs. having to figure it out themselves).

I've combined over 15+ years of experience working as a pediatric occupational therapist, along with my hands-on experience as a mom of two, to create the proven plan that you'll use to get your mom & baby classes up and running.
The program is a self-paced course and is broken down into 6 main modules that are accessible immediately upon purchase. All of the other program materials, including course content videos, son/activity demo videos, a comprehensive workbook and additional hanouts are all available inside the online course hub once you log in.
Oh, and there are a ton of bonuses waiting for you inside as well.
MODULE ONE
In this module we review the foundations of infant development, diving into motor milestones from 0-18 months, so that you can feel confident working with babies, making recommendations, and creating appropriate activities and songs.
You will learn about spinal curves, the 4 foundational movements, and the 3 underlying concepts of movement.
You will also learn how to guide moms & babies through various songs and activities without having to spend a lot of time or needing a lot of fancy equipment and toys.
MODULE TWO
Discover the intricacies of attachment and regulation in newborns and beyond, so you can confidently support moms and babies within your classes through co-regulation.
You will also learn how to start and end your classes, so that they promote a calm and soothing environment for moms and babies.
MODULE THREE
Learn introductory information about sensory processing and primitive reflexes, how they develop in the first 2 years, and why they are important for us to know when working with moms and babies.
Learn how to pass on the information and do simple activities within your classes to promote some of this development without overwhelming the mamas.
MODULE FOUR
Though motherhood is one of the most rewarding jobs in the world, it is HARD! In this module we dive into some of the top 'pain points' that come up with moms in the first few years, including:
Sleep
Teething
Gas/Digestion
Breast/Bottle Feeding
Baby Devices/Containers
Intro To Solids
Reflux
And more
You will get some simple handouts, that you can easily share with the mamas in your classes.
MODULE FIVE
I give you the keys to getting out and starting your classes. Think of it as the 'bread and butter' of the course!
With a done-for-you class structure + 6 weeks of lesson plans, you will be able to hit the ground running after completing this module, without having to sacrifice more time thinking, planning, and organizing the content on your own.
You will also have the opportunity to see a demo video of sample Level 1 and Level 2 class, so that you feel more confident and realize that you CAN do it!
You will leave with more than enough ideas to start your own classes and add your own flair (or not ... because remember, it is a done-for-you course!! Just take it and run!)
MODULE SIX
I share some of the behind the scenes processes that I have had to learn in the business back end of things.
Discover where to run your classes, how to price them, how to market and promote them, and more so you can learn from my mistakes and just do what works!
You'll gain a clear understanding of how to set up and grow your mom & baby classes using the done-for-you class structure I provide.

If you've ever wondered what goes into running a mom & baby group but you feel a bit stuck and overwhelmed, this program is for you.
Babies @ Play is an excellent online course that will take you through exactly what you need to know in terms of theory that underpins the practice of infant development and then shows you step-by-step how to put that knowledge into a group format. Kaili has an excellent ability to communicate her extensive knowledge clearly and logically.
What I loved most is that it really is "plug and play" if you wish it to be. Kaili takes you steo-by-step through what you need to know and how to teach it to the moms in your class. She then breaks down the structure of all the lessons and even provides templates of the lesson plans, handouts, and emails which she has created! She also shares valuable knowledge on how to set up the business side of things.

It really depends on where you are in your life right now. Maybe you are working full or part-time, maybe you have kids at home or one on the way, maybe you are caring for elderly parents or maybe you’ve just quit your job and are ready to go all in on growing your business.
Putting in X number of hours isn’t going to guarantee you success. It’s knowing what to do during the time you do have. It’s being able to focus on one task and get it done so that you are productive.
That being said, the entire 6-modules will take about 14 hours to go through, plus the additional guest expert videos. I suggest going through 1 module a week, which shouldn’t take you more than about 1-3 hours, however I have had past participants say they like the ability to ‘binge’ watch at times, and take their time at others. So really, the choice is up to you!
While I cannot guarantee immediate success for your classes, as this depends on a variety of factors. I can guarantee that you will feel well prepared to get out there and run your first mom/baby 6-week series as soon as you finish the 6 modules of the course!
Unfortunately this course is not yet approved for AOTA CEUs.... but I am working on it. I am in Canada and here in Canada CEUs are not needed to maintain our registration in the same way as in the US. However, I know that this is an important factor of US based therapists and so I am working hard to get the extensive application process completed. I can't tell you when that will happen, but I can tell you that once I am approved CEU provider the course price will be going up to reflect that :-)
The beautiful thing about this course is that it is there for you when you need it! You get 6-months access to all of the modules (and any updates), so that you can go through them as fast or slow as you need to, and refer back to them as needed. This is plenty of time to go through the course and get your first class series up and running. And, if you feel you need more time, you can always pay the extension fee to maintain access.
This is a do-at-your-own-pace online course that you do on your own from your computer at home. That being said, should you feel like you need some additional 1:1 support, you are able to book me for 30/45/60 minute sessions and save 30% off my regular rates.
If you have any trouble accessing the program or forget your log in information, then the first step is to click the 'forgot password' button on the log-in page.
If that doesn't work and you are still having trouble, then please shoot me an email at [email protected]. For now I am still a one woman show, but that may change in the future, at which time I will always send you an update of who to contact for what.
Highly recommend this course for professionals who are looking to empower the mamas in their community.
Babies @ Play: Running Mom & Baby Classes Made Easy is well organized and packed with vital content to help mothers, both new and experienced, thrive as they enter a new season of life.
The course hits on 'mama pain points' and provides direct, concise, evidence-based interventions to help mamas through these times without overloading them with too much information. Highly recommend.

Getting up in the morning, walking to your closet to get dressed, and having butterflies in your stomach with excitement that you get to spend the day with mamas and babies.
Imagine feeling the kind of confidence that comes with knowing that you are a part of the village of support for the mamas in your community.
Imagine finally being able to walk confidently out of your house, ready to tackle your day, without the stressful, nagging voice of worry obsessions about how to get your next client, or heading to a job you don't totally love.
This can and will happen for you...
So don't wait for another opportunity to shape your future. This is your chance!
