A Quick Overview

Each week, parents and caregivers participate with their children in a 30 minute session of music, rhyme, movement, listening and more...puppets, instruments, and more. After the music and movement portion of the morning, children enjoy a snack while the adults are treated to a coffee/tea break. Snack time is followed by a short toy time, where children play in the same room, allowing the adults to visit with one another. The entire mainly music session lasts approximately one hour.
