Experience

Welcome to Baby Sensory Newcastle.  
I am Kelly and I teach all the Baby Sensory classes on Tuesdays, Wednesdays, Thursdays, Fridays and Saturdays.  I am in my 29th year of teaching in the Early Childhood field and over the years have worked with babies through to 12 year olds in Long day care, Preschool, Essential Play, Infants Public School, OOSH and a Live-in Nanny. I also teach all the classes at Essential Play (1 - 5 years located in the same building as Baby Sensory) if you have any questions about your baby now or questions beyond the first year PLEASE ASK!  I am also a mother of 3 amazing children who bring me great joy.  
Back in 2010 I discovered the unique program that Baby Sensory offers and was absolutely blown away!
There was nothing like Baby Sensory in Newcastle or in Australia.  I was proudly the first class leader teaching classes in Australia, now Baby Sensory classes are running throughout NSW, QLD, WA, SA and all over the world, in 2018 there is still nothing that comes close to the magic of Baby Sensory.  Baby Sensory has won many awards including the 'Best National Baby and Toddler Activity (0-2 years) in the What's on 4 Little Ones Australia Awards 2014 & 2016, Highly Commended in 2015, we won again in 2017 and have just been nominated in the 2018 awards.
I am passionate about teaching and this is reflected in my enthusiasm for Baby Sensory, when you come to one of my classes you will understand why.  
I am very excited to be sharing this program with parents, grandparents and caregivers with your precious babies in Newcastle, I can't wait to meet you!

Description

Our multi-award winning Baby Development classes are held weekly in Lambton just one block from the Stadium. Imagine taking your baby on a jungle or water adventure, to a winter wonderland or to a world of new sounds and sensations? Baby Sensory Newcastle includes a wealth of rich sensory experiences that will delight both you and your baby. No class is ever the same! Babies have an amazing capacity to learn in their first year and we don't waste a single second of this valuable time. Activities include every possible sensory experience from sign language, light shows, rainbows, bubbles, bells, massage, music and a whole lot more! All activities are accompanied by fun upbeat music, some of which is original to Baby Sensory. Our classes are suitable for babies from birth to 13 months and is the only baby program that is specifically designed and offers a complete approach to learning and development from newborn to 13 months. The varied sensory experiences enable babies to develop in every possible way. Each class is 1 hour in duration and split into 3 sections which is vital for babies attention spans, our exploratory play area that is different every week is a great opportunity for babies to have free play time, for families to meet other families with babies of similar ages and a break from class time so the babies are not over stimulated. Class time in the sensory area is different every week so much learning, discovery and development takes place and if you have heard about our classes they are not to be missed. Come along and find out what everyone is talking about... you and your baby will not be disappointed - we can't wait to meet you!
