My baby won’t quite be the age listed by the time the class starts. How do I know which class to sign up for?The age ranges for each class are suggestions.

Please ignore this message and continue with registration.

I have a baby who is younger than the sibling enrolled in the class. Can I bring baby along?Yes! We are happy for you to bring younger siblings. Often they will be content to stay in a car seat, in a baby carrier, or even in the adult’s lap. If baby needs some extra attention, you are welcome to step out for a moment and later return to the class.

I have a child who is older than the sibling enrolled in the class. Can I bring big brother or big sister along?Unfortunately, this scenario doesn’t produce the same learning opportunities as the above mentioned (when baby is accompanying the older sibling.) We suggest that you choose a time to bring baby to class while big brother or big sister is either with another caregiver or MDO/Preschool

How do we continue music at home?Your home materials include a CD of all of the award winning music we use in class, books, instruments, and activities for you to use with your child that enhance what we are learning in class. We promise hours of singing, playing, and cuddling at home since you are your child’s first and favorite teacher.

My 3 ½ yr old frequently experiences separation anxiety or may have a meltdown during class. What should I do?Since the class for 3 ½ yr olds is without an adult caregiver, we recommend the parent reassure the child with a quick hug and remind them that you will be present at the end of the class. Our teachers understand this can be a delicate time and they have many tools to also reassure your child and to encourage them to engage in the playful learning of the moment. Feel free to bring a lovey or a stuffed animal if it will add more comfort during the lesson.

I love to document and share all of my child’s fun and happy moments, is it ok if I Facebook/Instagram/Snapchat during class?"Pictures and videos are encouraged in moderation. However, during the 45 minute lesson you will want your focus and attention to be on your child. Please refrain from updating your status or clearing out your inbox during the class time. All phones are required to be in silent mode.
