This music-filled class celebrates the unique joys of your growing child.  Each week your child will love singing, dancing, and playing instruments with you and her new friend and you'll love helping her practice a wide variety of abilities such as gross and fine motor skills, turn-taking, social skills, and active listening.  In class, we will also share tips and ideas for using music throughout the week.  Plus, the fun (and learning!) continue with the Kindermusik@home digital home materials, including music from class, musical activities and each months story.

Cuddle, bounce, and bop with your baby in Kindermusik's newest curriculum. Whether your baby is five weeks or five months, this class will be perfect for you! With age-appropriate activities for newborns, infants and crawlers, this parent-child music and movement class will help you strengthen those early parent-child bonds, understand your baby’s development, and heavily focus on child development and communication with your baby. You and your baby will enjoy instrument play, dance, exploration time, and together time—and you’ll get expert advice and parenting resources based on the most recent research in baby development.

Each week in class we combine your preschooler’s natural love of music, storytelling, and imaginative play with age-appropriate activities that introduce early music concepts and foster independence, social and emotional skills, language growth, and self-control. We also connect you with other parents who share in the wonder of parenting a preschooler. Parents join class for the final activities. The Kindermusik@Home digital home materials bring the music, activities, and each month’s story everywhere you go. The repetition enhances the learning—and the fun!
