It is developed by a real mom with a real baby in real life. Mia and I live in the real world, where life is fast-paced and often demanding. The balance between work and family can be challenging, and therefore we treasure the moments that we share together in play.

Whatever activities we use are tried and tested. Mia is an expert assistant in testing out my innovative ideas. Some, she has proven to be less innovative and others brilliantly creative. We only use what works and that makes the app authentic and practical.

Mia and I love to use items for play that is at our immediate disposal in our home. Pots, pans, plastic cups and spoons are some of our favourite play-friends. We aim to assist the parent to think creatively in terms of what items to use in their own home.

MommaMia is a therapeutic program, designed for teachers and parents to optimally develop and guide children through each developmental phase with simple, fun and creative play activities. The program aims to produce learners that are school ready and have a superior capacity in all functional areas.

The program addresses the child’s developmental areas ranging from gross and fine motor skills development to enhancing cognitive and language skills. It focuses on sensory stimulation as well as the integration of self help activities needed for daily living. It further guides both the parent and teacher to incorporate emotional interaction and bonding as part of the developmental process.

Each activity is graded to simplify and enhance the natural innate capacity of every child and is individualized to meet each child’s specific needs.
