What Does My Baby Learn in a Bugs Class? (4–10 months)

The first months of your baby’s life are full of growth, wonder, and important little milestones. At The Little Gym Haarlem, we believe that movement and discovery go hand in hand – even from a very young age. That’s why we’ve created our “Bugs” program, designed especially for babies aged 4 to 10 months: a safe, joyful, and enriching class for both parent and child.

Developing at Their Own Pace

Every child develops in their own unique way. Our classes are built around that pace. Nothing is required – everything can be explored. By meeting weekly with other babies, parents, and familiar instructors, we create a safe and consistent environment. This sense of continuity greatly supports your baby’s confidence and social development.

Brain in Action

Did you know that a baby’s brain develops at lightning speed during the first 12 months? Everything your little one sees, hears, feels, and does is stored and becomes the foundation for future learning and movement. Our classes support this development through:

• simple (but carefully designed!) movement activities,
• music and rhythm,
• soft materials and different textures,
• and above all: lots of fun!

Learning Through Play

Whether your baby is already rolling, crawling, or just starting to sit up – the Bugs class gives them space to explore the world, step by step. Together with you as a parent! Think of activities that encourage gross motor skills, challenge balance, and develop hand-eye coordination.

We gently roll babies over soft balls, create simple climbing structures, and build little routines that activate both their body and brain – always tailored to their stage and abilities.

A Meaningful Experience for Both Parent and Child

In addition to physical development, our classes also focus on social interaction. Babies learn to observe other little ones, become familiar with their surroundings, and even start to form their very first playful connections. For parents, it’s a welcoming place to share experiences and meet other families.

Our Bugs classes are playful, safe, and perfectly aligned with what your baby needs right now. You’ll be amazed how even the tiniest steps in class can lead to big leaps in development – and how vital your role is as a parent in that journey.
