Foundations (Newborn – 12mos)

What to Expect

• Listening: Sing it again…babies will experience a variety of songs and rhymes in different ways. Bonus: a parent’s singing voice is their favorite!
• Vocal Plays: Your turn! Babies will participate in back-and-forth vocal plays and other parent-child interactions, helping them with early language development.
• Object Exploration: From scarves to shakers, little ones will use all of their senses to explore a variety of safe, engaging props and instruments.
• Bonding Exercises: The best part…parents and caregivers learn bonding techniques through intentional touch, baby massage, and relaxation activities.

What You’ll Learn

• Listening and Communication Skills: Listening to music and doing vocal play exercises helps develop a baby’s back-and-forth communication skills.
