Classes in Music and Movement for young children

The Creative Movement Program is an early childhood enrichment program that nurtures the development of young children through music and movement. In this joyful environment, children move and sing, play simple percussion instruments, listen purposefully, and interact with each other.

Activities are geared to each developmental level for children. Adults and children develop a special bond through participation in class and repetition of songs and games at home.
