In Cuddle & Bounce, a joyful first Kindermusik experience, parents and their newborns, infants and crawlers engage in instrument play, dance, exploration time, and together time.

Welcome to the magic time of life, that all-too-fleeting first chapter of life when miracles happen daily.This is a 30-40 minute class for children and parents/caregivers to attend together.

Sing & Play is an energetic and joyful celebration of the very young child's growing new movement and language skills. A mix of parent-child joint activities and child-focused activities provide parents a unique opportunity to participate in all the music and movement fun, but also to stand back, observe and revel in how these older babes and toddlers are beginning to walk, talk, sing, play, clap, tap, and dance--all on their own!This is a 35-45minuteclass for children and parents/caregivers to attend together.
