Village is for lap babies, crawlers and walkers and provides families a special place for learning and connecting with other parents and babies through music and movement. The 15-week semester is divided into two units:

Hickory, Dickory, Tickle & Bounce - 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. Plus, you’ll develop research-proven communication strategies with your child through listening activities, speaking “"parentese", and sign language.

The Rhythm of My Day – This class will help you bring more rhythm and routine to your baby's day, as well as help develop lasting learning skills. We’ll show you how and tell you why music can help your little one soothe into the day’s schedule and help build a strong body and mind network for learning. Bring those stress-free and relaxation techniques home from class and incorporate them into your daily routines.

Our Time is a unique opportunity for parent and child to interact and learn together in an unhurried and joyful manner. Singing, imitating sounds, and rhyming foster language skills. Creative movement to various musical moods develops a sense of balance, and instrument exploration fosters rhythm. Focused listening and turn-taking encourage blossoming social skills.

Fiddle-Dee-Dee - Creatures from the animal kingdom, whether furry, web-footed, winged or whiskered are explored in songs and activities specifically chosen for a toddler's emerging interests and physical skills. We'll help toddlers develop rhythm while further developing their ever-emerging language skills. With a special stringed instrument emphasis in the music from class, parents can bring home the sounds of the violin, cello and orchestra to help their children stay happy and engaged learners at home too.
