At the heart of Mother Luna, our Baby Sensory Circles offer a nurturing, judgment-free space for parents and babies to connect, learn, and grow. Each Circle is thoughtfully designed around your baby’s developmental stage — and the experience evolves as they grow.

Our 0–6 month Circle places a greater emphasis on parent support, education, and connection during the early months of parenthood, with gentle songs, sensory experiences, and activities for babies woven throughout. As babies become more active, our 7–12 month Circle shifts toward more hands-on sensory play and movement while continuing to offer connection and support for parents.

Both Circles feature visiting local experts who share guidance on topics relevant to babies, parenting, and the postpartum experience.

Baby Sensory Circle (0-6 months)

The early months are just as much about supporting you as they are about your baby.
This Circle combines parent connection and education with gentle, developmentally appropriate experiences for babies. Each week includes time to connect with other parents, conversations or visiting experts on topics related to postpartum life and early parenthood, plus simple songs, sensory play, and activities to enjoy with your baby.
Think of it as a supportive parent-and-baby community — not just a baby playgroup.
Baby Sensory Circle (7-12 months)

As babies become more mobile and curious, our Circle grows right along with them! This class includes more hands-on sensory play, movement, and age-appropriate activities that encourage exploration, curiosity, and play.
There’s still plenty of time for parents to connect and chat while babies play and explore alongside one another. Once a month, a local guest expert joins us to share guidance and answer questions on topics relevant to this stage of babyhood and parenthood.

“I can’t say enough about how much fun we’ve had at the Mother Luna CT baby sensory class in Guilford! We talked to great speakers and learned so much, made baby toys that we actually still use, and made friends that we’ve carried through play dates with every week! I highly recommend this class and we’ve already signed up for the upcoming months!”

“This sensory circle was everything I needed and more. It was the first time I got out of the house with my baby and the supportive community and lovely activities made me feel confident to keep exploring parenthood and the world with my little one in a much healthier way. I loved the activities but loved the community more.”

“I loved Baby Sensory Circle! It was a great way for me to start getting out of the house with my baby, socialize with other moms, and feel safe in a space where we could all share, ask advice, and speak with experts about different parenting challenges. Liz is great, we loved all the crafts, and I still use some of her songs almost daily with my little one!"
