This one-hour Zoom session is an opportunity to gather with Amy and Sarah and with other caregivers. You can ask questions and share your curiosities and concerns, and we'll offer our suggestions and ideas. This group is intended for people who have already been to an in-person Babies! Open session, or have previously had in-person or online Developmental Movement sessions with Sarah and/or Amy.
