Foundations

(0-18 Months)

For newborns, growing babies, and young toddlers

What should a baby’s first music class really offer?

More than lullabies and swaying. Kindermusik in-person or virtual Foundations classes include those things, but Educators also teach families how sound exploration, listening activities, and dances help babies communicate, stimulate eye-tracking skills, and learn to move and coordinate new muscles.

Kindermusik Foundations classes are music and movement classes for babies and infants.
