For newborn to 18 months this class sets a foundation for understanding how music and movement affects development of your baby and how baby experiences the world through all their senses. The social aspect brings delight and smiles to everyone!

Kindermusik Foundations

The Foundations class is so much more than lullabies and swaying. We teach families how sound exploration, listening activities, and dances help babies communicate, stimulate eye-tracking skills, and learn to move and coordinate new muscles.

 
  • Movement Control
    Different movement activities help babies strengthen their core muscles, which increases their sense of balance and control over movements.
  • Social Adaptability
    Group activities allow babies to experience familiar and unfamiliar social experiences in a safe and secure way.
  • Listening and Communication Skills
    Listening to music and doing vocal play exercises helps develop a baby’s back-and-forth communication skills.
  • Language and Literacy Development
    Introducing spoken sounds and rhythms through songs and rhymes helps support language and literacy development.
