This early childhood music program is created and conducted by board-certified music therapists. It offers a developmental approach to infant and toddler music classes that supports age-appropriate emotional, social, and motor development through musical play. These groups include “family dyads” (one child and a guardian/important adult in their life), so parents have the opportunity to connect with other families while also learning fun songs to engage their children during times of transition (doctor appointments, car rides, waiting for mealtimes, etc.).
