Did you know sound recognition begins in the womb? Foundations classes are all about exploring and reacting to new sounds, objects, and movements. Plus, parents and caregivers heighten connections with their babies by learning bonding techniques.

$75 per month for 1 child/$55 for each sibling- (6 months-6 yrs) covers 4 classes, digital materials, one CD, and photos emailed to you. One time registration fee of $35 per child covers the cost of your own instrument bundle for you to keep.
The Foundations class is so much more than lullabies and swaying. We teach families how sound exploration, listening activities, and dances help babies communicate, stimulate eye-tracking skills, and learn to move and coordinate new muscles.
