Early Childhood Services

Supporting your child’s development through the creative and interactive use of music

OUR APPROACH

Early Childhood Development Through Music

Our early intervention services use music therapy to help children achieve developmental milestones in a fun, engaging, and supportive environment.

Led by board-certified music therapists, our programs are designed to support children from birth to 5 years old through singing, movement, and instrument play. We create inclusive, family-centered experiences that empower parents with practical strategies to bring music into daily routines.

Whether your child is meeting all their developmental milestones or could use some extra exposure to them, our early childhood music classes provide a nurturing space where every child can thrive, learn, and grow.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is my child too young for music classes?

Never! Infancy and early childhood are prime times to capitalize on children’s innate musical spontaneity and encourage their natural inclinations to sing, move, and play with sound.

My child isn't talking yet - would music help with this?

Yes! Music and language use different sides of the brain. If a child is having difficulty with spoken language, humming, vocalizing, and singing can help create new pathways in the brain to support communication development.

My child has disabilities/delays - are these classes appropriate?

Absolutely! We are fully inclusive for our early childhood classes. Our board-certified music therapists know how to prescriptively use music to help children of ALL ability levels be successful and thrive.

My child does nothing in class but sings at home - is this normal?

Yes! Some children participate actively in class, while others absorb the music and then demonstrate what they’ve learned at home where they feel safest. Both responses are completely normal and beneficial.

Will this help with socialization for my child?

Absolutely! Music classes help children learn circle time expectations, sharing, and how to interact with other children. They develop social skills while preparing for future group settings like preschool.

Can I stay with my child during classes?

Yes! Our classes are designed as family-centered experiences. We welcome parents, caregivers, and even grandparents to participate together. Siblings can also join if they are enrolled in the class.
