Building Foundations Through Our Infant Development Program
At Joyful Development, our Infant Development Program is designed for infants and toddlers (ages 0–3) who are experiencing developmental delays or may benefit from additional support. These include challenges related to Autism, genetic or chromosomal variations, prematurity, sensory processing challenges, motor delays, or trauma.
We celebrate each child’s unique strengths and work closely with families to provide personalized tools, play-based therapies, and a nurturing environment. Together, we focus on fostering growth, connection, and a strong foundation during these critical early years when brain development is at its peak.
What Is Our Infant Development Program?
Benefits of Early Intervention
Promotes Developmental Milestones
Our program helps children achieve key milestones such as crawling, walking, talking, and engaging with others—all at their own pace. By supporting these foundational skills, we provide a strong base for continued growth and development.
Supports Communication and Social Connection
Through relationship-based play like DIR/Floortime, children are supported in expressing their needs and connecting with others. These experiences encourage communication in both verbal and non-verbal forms, while co-regulation provides a foundation for emotional connection and social interaction.
Enhances Motor Skills and Coordination
Through sensory-rich, play-based activities, we support children in developing strength, coordination, and body awareness. Whether grasping toys or practicing balance, these activities help build confidence and independence in daily tasks.

Even children without specific therapeutic needs can benefit from this program, as it promotes overall well-being, sparks creativity, and nurtures a love for learning through music.
