What Do Our Classes Look Like?
We focus on PLAY! We want our parents, grandparents, and caregivers to have fun with their little ones while learning new songs to sing at home.
We start with our Hello Song and end with our Goodbye Song.
In class, you will:
- meet & greet other families
- practice our numbers, colours, and everyday vocabulary (food, transportation, daily routine...)
- move with the music - dance, finger play, clapping to the beat
- sing - the best age to build a foundation in music development is 0-5 years old!
- explore percussion instruments - pick up an instrument and jam to the beat
- have fun!
Classes are 30 minutes long (which is a long time for our little ones to stay focused). Don't worry if you don't know the words - we will provide you links to the songs and lyrics so you can access them when you get home.
If you have older ones at home, we are also offering classes suitable for ages 3-6 and 5-8. Feel free to ask about the courses!
