Our Infant Motor Milestone Classes are built around you and your baby together. Led by our pediatric physiotherapy team, each small-group session shows you how to encourage the movement your baby is working on right now — tummy time, rolling, sitting balance, crawling, standing and early walking — through play-based activities you can carry straight home.

You will learn how to safely support your baby’s movement, build confidence in handling and play, and understand what to look for at each stage. As your baby gets stronger, the activities progress with them, so what you practise at home keeps pace with what they are ready to do. Sessions run approximately 50 minutes, once a week, over six weeks.

An assessment by one of our Physiotherapists is needed prior to participation in the class. The Physiotherapist will ensure that the class is appropriate as part of the treatment plan.

Currently, these classes are run out of our Guelph-Bullfrog Mall clinic.

Milestones Covered at Each Level

Level 1 Milestones (~1-4 months old)

Level 1 focuses on building your baby’s foundational movement skills through tummy time, early rolling, head control, and side-lying play. These activities help strengthen core and neck muscles.

Level 2 Milestones (~5-9 months old)

In Level 2, we build on tummy time and rolling while introducing sitting balance, smooth transitions (like moving from sitting to lying down), and the early stages of crawling. This stage supports coordination, stability, and confidence in movement.

Level 3 Milestones (~9-12 months old)

Level 3 is all about mobility and independence. Babies work on pulling to stand, standing on their own, cruising, and preparing for those exciting first steps toward walking!

NEW! Level 4 Milestones (~11-14 months old)

Our newest level supports babies who can already pull to stand and cruise and are now progressing toward independent standing, assisted walking, and independent walking. This stage focuses on refining balance, strength, and confidence.

What to expect in class

These classes are built around you and your baby together. Each session gives you the confidence and the know-how to keep supporting your baby’s movement at home, between classes and after the six weeks are over.

Meeting your baby where they are

We start with the stage your baby is at right now — what they can already do and what they are reaching for next — so every activity in the class is pitched for them.

Coaching you through it

You are the one doing the activities with your baby, and we coach you as you go — how to position them, how to hold them, when to step back and let them work at it.

As your baby gets stronger

As your baby gets stronger, the activities move on with them — and you will already know how to keep going at home.

Common questions about Infant Motor Milestone Classes. Still have questions? We’re happy to help — get in touch and we’ll answer them.

Yes. Each child will require an initial 40-minute assessment with the physiotherapist leading the class prior to the first session. This assessment is designed to determine your baby’s readiness and ensure the program is tailored to their developmental needs.

These classes may be eligible for coverage under physiotherapy benefits. The initial assessment and the group class can both be billed as physiotherapy for benefits.

Our classes are run by our pediatric physiotherapists.

Each session incorporates play-based learning to help babies build strength, coordination, and confidence while reaching important developmental milestones. Parents are guided through practical infant handling techniques and receive developmental insights.

Currently, these classes are run out of our Guelph-Bullfrog Mall clinic.
