About the Class
Kindermusik Foundations is a cozy class for babies and caregivers to experience together. But it's more than lullabies and swaying! While Foundations classes include those things, educators also teach families how sound exploration, listening activities, and dances help babies communicate, stimulate eye-tracking skills, and learn to move and coordinate new muscles.
