🎵 Fall Kindermusik classes will be here before we know it!

Registration is now open for South Burlington classes, and I can't wait to welcome families back for another season of music, movement, learning, and connection.

🍂 Classes begin the week of September 7.

Essex Junction registration will open through Essex Junction Recreation & Parks in August. I'll be sure to share the link as soon as it's available!

Whether you're returning or discovering Kindermusik for the first time, I'd love to have you join us this fall. Come sing, dance, play, and make wonderful memories together!

Questions? Send me a message—I'm always happy to help find the class that's the best fit for your family. I can't wait to see you this fall! 💜

Lap bounces are simple, silly fun—with big developmental benefits! They build core strength, balance, sequencing skills, and help support the vestibular system—all while strengthening the connection between caregiver and child.

Our favorite way to play peekaboo:
1. Using a translucent scarf or tissue paper, cover your baby’s face (or yours!).
2. Ask, “Where is _baby’s name_?” several times, then lift the scarf and say “There s/he is! Peekaboo, I see you!”
3. Wait for baby to respond with a smile, laugh, or vocalization.
4. Repeat
💡Add music to help hold their attention—you can stream ""I See You"" on the free Kindermusik app and follow the prompts!

Colorful parachute time isn’t just fun—it’s full of learning in action 🎈

When we play with a parachute in class, children are building important skills without even realizing it. The rising, falling, shaking, and still moments help develop pattern recognition, as they begin to anticipate what comes next.

All that lifting, running underneath, and holding on strengthens gross and fine motor skills like coordination, timing, and strength.

And of course, it’s a team effort—everyone has to move together, listen, and work in sync, which builds natural teamwork and social connection.

Play that looks simple… doing a lot of important work underneath it 💛

Our brains are made to search for patterns. Consistently uncovering them and recreating them builds brainpower!
