    “Learning everything about the baby with Laura was amazing. I started having classes with her with my third and last baby, and I learned so much about my baby’s development and how to play better with him. I felt so much more confident, that I was doing my best to help and respect my baby. I wish for every baby that they could have parents that know all the things she teaches or at least the respect that you focus so much on. I love how she knows so much from each baby, by just watching them in the class, she is really a baby specialist.”

“I’m a single father of an 8-month-old infant and I cannot imagine where my baby’s development would be without Laura’s guidance. Laura takes special care to empathize with the needs of the baby all the while showing me tips and tricks on how to help my baby be successful! Thanks to Laura, tummy time is no longer a struggle for my son! The price I pay is more than worth the cost of admission as I’ve seen instant results in my baby’s development. The classes are extremely affordable for what you get. In addition to the affordability the teaching tools needed are also very reasonable and very simple (most items needed are no more than $5). Most parents already have items they could use to better their baby’s development in their home. So, no need to purchase big fancy new toys… Unless you really want you (and we both know those toys are actually for the parents anyways.) LOL!!! I know that all babies are different in how they respond to different types of stimulation but I cannot imagine any parent-baby combo this couldn’t work for. I want to see my son succeed in life so I take joy in learning about the inner thinking of babies and their development.

    “We couldn’t have asked for more in an instructor.  I have children, grandchildren, and many nieces and nephews, so I’ve been around kids for years, yet I’ve never learned many of the things that I’ve learned from Laura in the few weeks we’ve met with her so far! You can tell she genuinely cares about children and their well-being. The classes are reasonably priced, and everyone in our family enjoys practicing what we learn.”

Meet Laura Liebig

Founder of Baby Parent Steps |BPS, Certified PEKiP ® Educator and Certified Educational Social Worker|New Parent Practical Supporter.

Hi, I’m Laura. As a mother of two young adults, I’ve been where you are — navigating the whirlwind of early parenting. After receiving my social work certification, counseling parents and their children while working at the Department of Education in Germany, and having my first baby, I embarked on the path that brought me to where I am today. It all began in 2000 when I participated in PEKiP® |Prague Parent-Child Program classes with my first and later with my second sweet baby. I experienced the reassuring support and guidance this wonderful program provided firsthand. Feeling empowered by understanding my baby’s natural development and finding peace of mind as a new mom is the spark that brought me back to this program years later.

Moving to the U.S. and watching my daughters grow up, I wanted to share the transformative early parenting services I had access to in Germany with new parents in my new community. Fascinated by babies’ rapid development and inspired by the leading European infant practices, I became certified as a PEKiP® educator. My passion and love for babies fueled my energy to translate, introduce, and establish the German PEKiP® parenting program in the United States in 2015. Dedicated to empowering new parents, I provide transformative Brain-Body-Bonding experiences and equip you with practical skills to support your baby’s natural development. This commitment led me to found Baby Parent Steps – a trusted resource to help new parents and caregivers thrive amidst the uncertainties of the baby’s first year of life and beyond.

Early parenthood is a unique time in our lives. With the arrival of a baby, everything is changing, and I am here to guide you through the start of a once-in-a-lifetime, memorable journey. Join me on this journey as we share the joys and navigate the challenges of early parenthood with clarity and confidence every step of the way.
