Short lessons, real-life activities and a milestone guide, plus a community of parents and experts.
Why movement matters
Your child can already do so many things.
Think about how much they have changed since the day they were born. Every roll, reach and wobble is your baby learning how their body works.
Babies grow in four connected areas: motion, cognition, communication and emotion. 3 Moves Ahead focuses on motion, because movement is how babies explore the world, and it feeds every other kind of learning.
- Understand what your baby is working on right now
- Offer the "just-right" challenge, not too easy and not too hard
- Turn feeding, bath time and floor time into practice moments
How it works
Three moves, repeated with love.
Each module follows the same simple rhythm so the program fits into real family life.
2
Play
Try a hands-on activity that gives your baby a just-right challenge. No special equipment, just the things you already have at home.
3
Celebrate
Notice progress, track milestones from newborn to 24 months, and celebrate the small wins that add up to big changes.
A note for families: 3 Moves Ahead is designed to support, not replace, guidance from your paediatrician or therapist. If you have concerns about your child's development, please talk to your care team.
The program
Nine modules that grow with you.
Start with how children learn, build up your parenting toolkit, and finish by putting it all together with music.

Community
Parents learn best from other parents.
The app is one half of 3 Moves Ahead. The other half is people: families working on the very same milestones, movement experts guiding the conversation, and the care team already near you.
Online discussions
Ask the question you were about to type into a search bar at 2am, and hear back from parents whose baby was working on that exact skill last month.
Peer-to-peer group sessions
Meet other families in small live groups, moderated by movement experts who keep the advice sound and make sure every parent gets a turn.
Community resources near you
Find the programs, clinics and support in your area, and get help taking what you have learned to the people who care for your child.
Connecting you to your local healthcare system. Knowing what your baby is working on is one thing; getting the right support for it is another. Our community resources point you toward the early-intervention programs, therapists and clinics near you, and help you arrive with the questions worth asking.
