Music and Movement

Get ready to laugh, play, and connect like never before! In this joyful baby-parent music class, every moment becomes a memory to treasure. From your baby’s very first giggle to the wide-eyed anticipation of the next bounce, tickle, or snuggle, this class is designed to engage both you and your little one in meaningful, musical fun.

Each week, you and your baby – whether they’re brand new or already taking first steps – will move together through a carefully crafted mix of singing, dancing, instrument play, and sensory exploration. We begin by welcoming everyone with cheerful songs and gentle movement, helping babies settle in and get excited for what’s to come. Then, we transition into active play, where bouncing on laps, spinning in circles, and lifting high into the air all help to build strength, balance, and coordination.

Focus on Baby Development

But that’s just the beginning. Throughout the session, we weave in language development through rhythm and rhyme, encourage tummy and floor time through guided play, and build your baby’s awareness of the world through touch, sound, and movement. You’ll also learn calming massage techniques, tips for supporting development at home, and ways to bond even more deeply with your little one.

In addition to the weekly in-class experience, your registration includes access to Kindermusik’s award-winning digital app and online resources. So the music and learning don’t stop when you walk out the door – they continue throughout your week, wherever you are.

New theme-based units keep things fresh every month, so there’s always something new to discover and enjoy together. Taught by certified early childhood educators using Kindermusik’s trusted, research-based curriculum, this class offers more than just fun – it’s an investment in your child’s early growth and in your relationship with them.

Join us and let the music move you both! See www.kindermusiknorthshore.com for more information.
