  Infant Developmental Movement Education through the School for Body-Mind Centering

  "This program is a highly sophisticated and subtle approach to the observation and facilitation of normal  

  movement patterns in infants. The approach incorporates the child’s curiosity, interest and individuality into

  the relationship with the educator. It is child centered and relationship centered, and child oriented rather   

  than task oriented.

 

  It trains people to recognize early movement patterns and to interact effectively with infants in gentle, enticing

  ways that will have a positive effect on their growth and development. The goal in movement education with

  infants is to help set a foundation that supports pathways of ease, strength, agility and adaptability and to help

  avoid restrictive patterns of movement that inhibit the development of the full potential of the child.

 

  The approach is gentle, non-intrusive, and enticing rather than demanding. It is direct and highly specific to  

  the individual child. It It does not force or impose, but focuses, engages, interacts, entices and seeks to engage

  the child’s inherent curiosity and interest. It always looks at the whole child and fully embraces each child and

  their parents and family. It includes and educates the family in the interactive process."
