Welcome!

Well Baby’s philosophy is rooted in the emerging field of infant-family mental health. We believe that healthy early relationships are the cornerstones of an infant’s emotional, cognitive, and physical growth. Through this website and our community center in Mar Vista, California, we strive to support families from the beginning and to help children reach their full potential by fostering in them creativity, confidence, and resilience as they move out into the world. At Well Baby Center, we have created an interactive space for social and relational support to flourish for families with children from prenatal to 5+ years for the Mar Vista community they live in, as well as families living in the surrounding areas in West Los Angeles, Venice, Marina del Rey, Palms, Westwood, Culver City, Brentwood, Cheviot Hills, Santa Monica and Beverly Hills.

_{“[The] language of connection is the musical prosody of a mother’s voice in rhythm with her baby’s cooing, the mirroring of her facial expressions, the dance of the mother/infant dyad." ^{“To Sing and Dance Together: From Infants to Jazz", B. Schogler, C. Trevarthen. Department of Psychology, Univ. of Edinburgh}}
