December 2009 Newsletter
Greetings Friends!
Amajoy Returns to Florence at Studio Firenze
We are pleased to be offering Amajoy services at the lovely Studio Firenze, located
at the Florence Community Center: 140 Pine Street, Florence, MA, in Studio 14.
We will continue providing home visits and classes around the Pioneer Valley.
In the year ahead we invite you to play, learn and rejuvenate with Amajoy. We look forward
to seeing you and your children soon!
“Lenore offers a hands-on, interactive, play-by-play commentary of child development that is fascinating, engaging, positive and easy to understand. The babies love the social interaction and the parents do too! All of us look forward to it as a highlight of our time with our very young children. We leave Lenore's class understanding our daughter better physically and emotionally and with one or two specific things to focus on. Often after a session we see our baby progress through a difficult developmental hurdle and as a result we have a lot less worry as new parents than we did before. There are so many classes and groups for infants -- this is one we feel very fortunate to have had the opportunity to participate in”.

‘Make Your Own’ Classes a Success
Thank you to all the families who've participated in Make-Your-Own Classes held in living
rooms and play spaces around the Valley. In the months since we left our Main Street office,
families from several towns have hosted small groups in their homes.
We appreciate your hospitality!
This Autumn a group of families, who met at the Cooley Dickinson Hospital 0-4 month-old
’Beyond Birth’ parenting group, organized their own Amajoy class series for their 4 to 10
month old babies.
If you’d like to create a class or series of classes for your friends and other local parents, please
contact Amajoy with dates and times that work for you. To attend one of our currently
scheduled ‘Make Your Own’ classes check the dates below and reserve your space with
payment on our site by Paypal. Thank You!
New Toddler Class series begins Jan 11, 2010 - Continues on alternate Mondays
