A playful and enriching experience for babies, toddlers, and their caregivers! This class is led by an instructor with a background in early childhood development and dance. This 6-week session provides a predictable class structure that will allow our little ones to feel safe to then learn and participate. Class begins with circle time songs incorporating movement and props. Each song is intentionally chosen to support and encourage our little ones language development and fine and gross motor skills. Props are used to facilitate creative movement and ideas among the little ones and to encourage socialization. Finishing with parachute play and a story, the goal is to build community between parents with this younger age group while supporting our little ones development with songs they'll come to know and love and movements they'll take home.
