THANK YOU FOR YOUR INTEREST IN babyBEings. We absolutely LOVE what we do and are proud to say that in 2026 babyBEings will have been providing 18 years of nurture and support for new parents and their babies in our community!
Highlight over the years - TV 1 GOOD SORT
Even though its a long time ago now we were proud and humbled to have been nominated for TV 1's 'Good Sort' in 2016 by a parent who was grateful for the support our classes gave her, her family and the community. What an honour it was to be nominated and to appear on TV as part of this wonderful program.It is something we will treasure and remember forever!
Our classes for new parents in Tokoroa and the wider Waikato/Bay of Plenty area offer Mums & Dads the opportunity to ….
· Develop a great relationship with their child that begins at birth and is based on the
principles of respect and partnership * Enhance the early social, emotional, motor and cognitive development of their baby * Have some precious 1:1 uninterrupted time each week with their baby * Discover how CAPABLE their baby is * Meet other parents and be supported in their role as a parent. Our weekly classes are based on the Pikler philosophy of respectful infant care. * Our trained facilitators run 2 x 8 week series' of classes, Part 1 and Part 2, twice a year for parents of babies aged from birth - 10 months (approx). A new series starts in February and July each year. * As well parents value the additional support we give by providing 'littleBEings' classes for older babies and toddlers who have attended babyBEings, our toddler workshops, and our regular nature trips to a local reserve. * We believe that from day 1 the role of a parent is vital & affects the health and well-being of the child and society. We are passionate about nurturing parents and providing them and their babies with the support they need to grow successful partnerships!

LittleBEings classes for toddlers......are on Thursdays and are for those parents and children who want to keep coming along to have fun and learn together about this delightful age!
|
During littleBEings sessions parents enjoy sitting back and observing their toddlers at play. At this age a child's play becomes more and more sophisticated and complex. Parents who have been asked at babyBEings to observe their child since they were a young baby, continue this practise with their toddler and are fascinated! We have beautiful indoor and outdoor environments for our toddlers to play in. Fran and Levi model what to do if there is a problem the toddlers need support with, and parents can discuss and learn from this. Workshops are also provided for parents to learn more.
