Do you have a curious toddler looking for more ways to learn and explore? Check out these March programs! Registration is open for the next sessions of Toddler Tumbling, Toddler Open Gym, and Toddler Dance Party.
A NEW! Mini Music Makers program will begin on March 24. Music can ignite a child’s imagination, expand their communication skills, help them explore emotions, and create a sense of belonging. It helps the body and mind work together developing fine and large motor control. Exposing children to music and musical play at an early age can have a profound impact. That’s why Mini Music Makers is the perfect program for your toddler’s curious mind. During this 4-week class the instructor will guide students through an introduction to music, sound, and musical instruments. Each week kids will explore music through a variety of call and response songs, actions and movements, rhythm instruments, stories, floor pianos, hand bells, and more. The first sessions will be held on Wednesdays, March 24 - April 14 at 5:30 & 6:30 p.m. The cost is $35 per child.
Registration for all toddler programs can be completed online at recdesk.republicparks.com (under Community Programs).
