Musical Playdate | October

Spooky (but not too spooky!) songs, dancing, instruments, and play for little ones 0-4 years and their grown-ups. Costumes welcome! Join us for October's Monthly Playdate where babies, toddlers, and preschoolers grow language, coordination, and confidence alongside the grown-ups who love them! Playdates blend joyful play with purposeful learning. Built on the Kindermusik program and Music Learning Theory, each experience nurtures your child’s natural musical development: • Singing songs, rhymes, and fingerplays that build early language, memory, and listening skills • Moving to music (bouncing, swaying, marching, and dancing) to develop coordination and a feel for steady beat • Playing child-sized instruments like drums, shakers, bells, and xylophones, which build fine motor skills and curiosity • Exploring musical opposites like loud and soft, fast and slow, high and low, which lay the groundwork for focus and early learning • Making music alongside other little ones in a warm, small group that builds social confidence • Sharing lap songs and lullabies that strengthen your bond and give you simple musical ideas to bring into everyday routines Musical Playdates are led by Dr. Farida Peña, an early childhood music specialist who is Kindermusik-certified and trained in Music Learning Theory.
