Mom & Me Program

Unless you have been living under a rock, chances are you have heard of the Mom & Me programs which are becoming super popular with Madras mommies. 

A Mom & Me program is basically a program offered by play schools for you and your li'l one aged between 9-18 months. It comprises a group of about 8-12 moms and their babies, with classes twice or thrice a week. Each class has a set of activities that has to be done jointly by the mom & baby, such as painting, singing rhymes, etc. All these activities are aimed at developing various skills and abilities of the baby such as fine motor development, co-ordination, vocabulary building, and many more. 

It's a lot of fun for the moms to watch their kids enjoy the activities as well as bond with other moms cribbing about their baby's tantrums and food habits! You can gradually see your child's development and also see him/her shed their inhibitions. 

My baby and I go to the Mom & Me program at Alphabet and we absolutely love it! My daughter loves it so much that on days we don't have school, she still asks me to sing all the rhymes and dances to them. Their campus is extremely well maintained, the staff very well trained and cordial. Additional features include a sand-play pit area and a splash pool.
