Research shows the more you expose your baby to nursery rhymes and songs, the stronger those emerging language-learning skills will be. That's why these Mother Goose-like stories and rhymes are the main theme of this class, all of which you and your baby will enjoy in class with friends, and then extend at home to make them and similar activities a part of your daily routine.

Home Materials: "Hickory, Dickory, Tickle & Bounce" boardbook, a CD of the songs and rhymes heard in class, an instrument for music-making at home, and a set of art banners for the nursery wall.

Swoosh, vroom, and clickety-clack your way through this delightful theme. Babies and adults will dance, sing, and play instruments to the theme of being on the go. Chug around the room to the song "Little Red Caboose," hold on tightly while "Riding in the Buggy," and dance your way to "Zoom-e-oh!" You'll also engage in rituals and playful activities, including intentional touch (also known as infant massage), lap bounces, finger plays, creative movement, vocal play, and more. I'll show you how you can make the most of these musical experiences with your baby as we share them together in class and you extend them at home.

Class Length: 50 minute class each week
Class Size: Class with up to 10 babies with at least one parent or caregiver.

What A Parent And Child Will Experience In Class:
Variety of Music Musical diversity builds strong neural networks in a baby's developing mind, which is why each Kindermusik semester contains an array of styles, sounds, and genres.
Instrument Play Age-appropriate experiences with child-safe instruments enhance a sense of rhythm and steady beat, develop a keen awareness of the distinguishing qualities of sound, and encourage spontaneity and creativity.
Dance A classroom full of baby and adult pairs dancing together helps a little body develop the muscle strength needed to crawl and walk and helps a little heart to fall in love with the sheer joy of responding to music.
Together Time A Kindermusik class offers you a place to create special memories with your baby, gain new insights into her development, and nurture her natural love of music.
Knowledge Miss Jennifer explains throughout the semester how each activity enhances your baby's complete development.
