For parents of children 0 to 36 months

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 child learning how their body works.

Children grow in four connected areas: motion, cognition, communication, and emotion. 3 Moves Ahead focuses on motion, because movement is how children explore the world, and it feeds every other kind of learning.

  • Understand what your child 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.

1

Learn

Watch a short lesson on how children learn to move, what to look for, and why it matters for your child's development.

2

Play

Try a hands-on activity that gives your child a "just-right" challenge. No special equipment, just the things you already have at home.

3

Celebrate

Notice progress, track milestones from 0 to 36 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 pediatrician or therapist. If you have concerns about your child's development, please talk to your care team.

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.

Parent forum

Connect with parents just like you, day and night.

Moderated discussions

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 child is working on is one thing; getting the right support for them 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.
