Discovery Days Music and Movement
About Discovery Days Music and Movement:
- Tuesdays; Classroom C
- January 17 – May 2
- 9 am, 10:30 am, 1 pm; 45 min–1 hour per session
Children and their parents and caregivers can enjoy moving to music together! Ms. Emma or Ms. Cora from Integral Steps play music, play instruments like the flute, lead dancing and wiggling, and lead sing-a-longs!
This class is contains primarily direct instruction form Ms. Emma, so you will have the best experience if you arrive for the beginning of the class start time, so that you and your child can participate along with the instructor's direction. Classes start at 9 a.m., 10:30 a.m. and 1 p.m., and will run about 45 minutes long.
The 1 p.m. session is a much quieter session (as compared to the 9 a.m. and the 10:30 a.m. sessions), so keep that in mind if you are looking for a more chill/relaxed experience.
