	Kindermusik Village is a class designed to provide families a special place for learning and connecting with other parents and babies through music and movement. Village will educate you about your baby’s unique development, and each rich class experience fills baby’s senses. We’ll hammock, dance, explore drums, snuggle during a lullaby, shake bells, play with puppets, and peek-a-boo with scarves. The activities are full of developmentally appropriate movement and play that are a fun and special way to spend time with your baby. Village will bring you closer to your baby and enhance developmental growth in extraordinary ways. Click here to watch an introductory video. Click here to attend a free trial class.


	Units for Winter/Spring 2012:

		*Unit 1: Cock-a-Doodle Moo!* Come join the hoe-down on the Kindermusik farm! Learn why dancing with your baby helps her develop vital learning skills -- from head to toe. We’ll tell stories, play with instruments, scarves, puppets and more. Come sing, move, cuddle and rock in a way that brings you closer to your baby. *Unit 2: DewDrops* is a rich community experience of sharing and learning for babies and adults, with extra emphasis placed on rhythm and movement. Why all the rhythm and movement? When Baby emerges from the womb and away from the familiar, steady sound of mother’s heartbeat, his brain begins to search for ways to organize the seemingly disorganized new world around him. he looks for elements of consistency to help him make order out of chaos. Rhythmic activity provides the recognizable, predictable and patterned information Baby wants to latch on to.
