What's on the menu:
JAM songs and dances adapted for babies, lullaby singing, parent/baby yoga, infant massage
Why it's important:
In their first months of life outside the womb, babies require so much touch, holding and carrying. Parents searching for ways to sooth, connect with and celebrate these amazing and often mystifying beings will find them here.
Special Notes:
If you have a group of six or more interested families and would like to create a class, let me know! |
Who: ages 0-4
parent/child
What's on the menu:
JAM songs and dances, creative movement, dramatic play, percussion jams, scarf dancing, yoga
Why it's important:
These little ones are really on the move, and need to jump, shake, shimmy, twirl, stomp, bang on things, laugh, and hug and be hugged in order for their brains and hearts to grow strong and wise. And everybody benefits when the grown-ups join in on the fun.
Special Notes:
If you have more than one child, in the 0-4 age range, this is the class foryou. The babies adore and learn so much from watching the big kids, and the big kids enjoy feeling competent, capable and strong. There's something for everyone!

JAM songs and dances, enriched and expanded, culminating in a dramatic-play performance
Why it's important:
These not-so-little ones still have a basic human need for all the same movement they did when they were toddlers, but are also starting to find their voices, improve their coordination, and hone their ability to focus. They need places to practice!
