Things to Know
There is so much going on in our classes -- developmentally, emotionally, socially, physically, cognitively and musically ... and because we're very much in the moment with our children while we're there, I don't get a chance to share this treasure trove with them! So I'm doing this for our studio families every few weeks, but let's face it:
This stuff is gold. So I'm inviting you into our Village today to get a little taste of the wealth of enrichment we're experiencing each week.
We're not only here for school readiness, foundational learning and exploration, physical and cognitive development and emotional health -- we're here to help your child blossom into the very best that they can become and to support you, Mom and Dad, in every way we can.

Episode 1: Movement and Steady Beat
What do bouncing, rocking, and tapping have to do with my child's brain? (And by the way, why should I bring my child to a baby class?)

This is a (very) brief overview of how steady beat activities affect your child's developing brain and some specifics of how we do this in class.
