Infant Massage

These classes focus on cue-based, baby-driven techniques, offering a warm and relaxing environment for parents and their pre-crawling babies. The sessions emphasize responding to individual baby needs and provide opportunities for parents to learn from each other.

Movement & Music

This engaging class includes singing, playing instruments, dancing, and free play. It’s designed for young children to develop movement and balance through fun activities.

Yoga Classes

Little Seeds offers yoga classes that cater to different age groups, emphasizing bonding and connection between parents and children. The classes provide a supportive atmosphere for both parents and children to practice yoga together.

Baby Sign Language

Aimed at parents eager to communicate with their babies before they can speak, this beginner-level course teaches baby sign language. The interactive classes help parents understand their infants better.

Kat, a devoted mother of three, is the passionate force behind Little Seeds Family Home. Alongside her husband Ben, whom she met in Amsterdam while completing her Master’s degree and working as an au pair, Kat has cultivated a deep love for children and families that drives her work to this day.

Having returned to her roots in the East Bay, where she was born and raised, Kat noticed a gap in educational services for families. She recognized a personal need for such support during her own transition into motherhood and was determined to provide these essential services to her community.

Right next to Little Seeds, there's a new Mexican cuisine restaurant on Mount Diablo. Between that and the launch of Breakfast Club, there’s a lot happening in downtown Lafayette, CA these days!
