Toddler ‘n Me Movement
18-36 month olds with their parent or caregiver
45 minutes
This is a movement class where parents can spend time with their toddler as they explore a dance class for the first time. We offer a caring, supportive and fun environment for parents to connect with their tots and to other parents. Activities using songs, scarves and imagination help to develop listening and movement skills. As the program progresses through the school year, the children become more independent. By the end of the year most are ready to move in to a program where their caregiver is not present.
