Do you like to sing and dance? Have you ever heard of jazz music? Mariella from Jazz Baby will use the Great American Songbook to expose children and their caregivers to jazz standards and popular music. Through repetition and play, children will explore different rhythms and strengthen motor skills and sensory enhancement, all while bonding with their caregiver! For children 6 months and up.

Please note the time difference! Today, we have two 40 minute sessions to accomodate for both age groups. For the 0-6 month session, click HERE.

SPOTS ARE LIMITED - Register HERE.
