The Baby Massage Class is held 16 times a year-four times each during the spring, summer, fall, and winter semesters-for infants aged two months to under twelve months and their guardians. A professional instructor teaches full-body massage techniques tailored to each stage of infant development, providing dedicated time for parents and babies to connect.

During the class, babies experience emotional stability through the warm touch of their parents, while guardians can closely observe their child's growth and responses. The hands-on, practice-oriented approach makes it easy for families to continue the techniques at home, resulting in high satisfaction among participating families.

An official from the Gapyeong County Public Health Center stated, "The Baby Massage Class is a program that supports infants' physical development and the formation of secure attachment. We will continue to offer a variety of experiential programs that parents and children can participate in together."
