Zahra Patel - Owner
Hi my name is Zahra, and I have been part of the Baby Sensory world since 2014.
It all started in Kuala Lumpur Malaysia! An accountant by profession, however after having my first daughter, in 2012, I didn’t want to go back to sitting in an office and work crazy long hours!
I always wanted to get into teaching and working with children and after having our daughter, this desire became even stronger, so when the opportunity came for me to become a Baby Sensory Class Leader I was stoked!
I wasn’t too sure what it was all about but fell in love from the moment I started training!
Two years later we were blessed with our 2nd daughter and I had the privilege of attending the classes as a mummy and loved them even more! Fast forward to 2018, we were blessed with our third daughter and decided it was time to move back to Melbourne.
I wanted to continue my Baby Sensory journey, so I made a few enquiries and am happy to announce that I now run the Baby Sensory classes in the City of Manningham, South Banyule and Yarra Valley! I cannot wait to bring the magical world of Baby Sensory to you and your baby!

Hi my name is Jordyn, and I joined the Baby Sensory community in 2024!
I am a mum to two little girls and have always loved being around children and watching their beautiful minds flourish.
As a mum who didn’t know about Baby Sensory when my first daughter was born, I am so thankful to have found this amazing community with my second child, and feel so privileged to be a Baby Sensory Class Leader.
I have a huge interest in how our babies brains develop and absolutely love getting to watch them grow week after week in this amazing community.
Chloe Abotomey
Hi, I'm Chloe!
I'm a Class Leader here at Baby Sensory, and I feel so lucky to spend my days supporting babies and their grown-ups through the first 13 months.
With a background in developmental psychology and a lifelong passion for early learning, I first discovered Baby Sensory in 2017 after having my first daughter in New Zealand.
I was instantly drawn to the program’s evidence-based approach and sensory-rich experiences, but what I didn’t expect was just how much those weekly sessions would mean to me as a new parent.
From that very first session, I was hooked, and I knew I wanted to share that same sense of wonder and support with other families one day.
Fast forward eight years and two countries later, and here I am, doing just that.
I love facilitating Baby Sensory classes, because as busy parents the opportunity to nurture your baby’s development, while giving you a chance to connect, relax, and create beautiful memories together can be difficult to find.
From bubbles and lights, to baby signing and music, I love watching each little one grow in confidence and curiosity each week.
When I’m not covered in glitter or waving a puppet around, you’ll usually find me behind my camera, exploring the outdoors with my kids, or on the hunt for the closest coffee.
I can’t wait to welcome you and your little one to class soon!
