4 Week July Session: July 10 - Aug. 2

Age: Lap Babies & Crawlers

Tuesdays: 12:00, 5:30

45 minute class with grown-up

Themes:

June: BUSY DAYS, with errands and trips around town - to the grocery store, doctor's office and Uncle John's - will set the stage to incorporate songs and musical play into your family routines; these routines help your baby build a sense of predictability and trust, spurring his social-emotional development. You will relish this time together each and every week!

July: NIGHTY-NIGHT has us looking at starts, watching the man in the moon, and exploring the routines surrounding playtime, bath time, and "nighty-night." Sight-strengthening activities like dances, tracking objects, playing instruments & scarf play will engage and foster your baby's development.

Age: 1s & young 2s

Tuesdays: 9:30, 10:30, 5:00

45 minute class with grown-up

Themes:

June: BIG RED BARN - A favorite theme, farms, and all the moos, quacks & neighs that go with them, are a reliable toddler hit! Moving like animals, making their sounds, and playing instruments will help us learn about opposites like fast/slow & loud/quiet and help your little one's brain to think and predict.

July: AROUND THE HOUSE - Home is not only where the heart is, but where the cooking, eating, playtime, bath time, and pets are. These typical times, and songs, dances and instrument play about them will set the stage for us to explore, play and learn, providing ideas to incorporate into your daily routines as well.

Age: 2s and young 3s (*family-style option)

Tuesdays: 9:15, 10:15, 5:15

Wednesdays: 9:15, 6:15

Themes:

June: UP IN THE SKY - We'll explore all the things that find their home in the sky through songs, dances, instrument play, listening and vocal play. Get ready for flying kites, Mister Robin, and reaching for the sky, all while learning to be expressive with language and movement.

July: FAMILY & FRIENDS - Sing, dance, move, and play your way through this celebration of why family and friends matter so much! We'll have fun AND develop important social skills in activities about Grandma & Grandpa, shaking hands with our neighbors, and making friends.

Wednesdays: 10:15, 5:00

60 minute camp with crafts & games! Grown-ups come into the room at drop-off to help child acclimate & return at the end for sharing time.

Themes:

June: OUT & ABOUT - We'll trek across the mountains and travel to the beach on a journey that will have us scuttling like crabs, flying like seagulls and dancing in the wind as we fine-tune our gross motor and cross-lateral skills. Pretend play, singing, playing instruments and crafts bring this camp adventure to life!

July: ON THE GO - Inspired by things that go - trains, planes, cars, wagons and even feet - getting up to move, AND practicing self-control along the way, makes this an engaging camp and powerful learning environment for your 3-5 year old. We'll learn and explore simple musical terms as we sing, play instruments, move and do crafts for 60 minutes each week.
