WELCOME TO MIXED AGES!
Need something for the
whole family? Mixed-Age classes are designed for infants through five-year-olds
to make music and get the wiggles out together. Families build connections,
grownups learn ideas for music exploration and play at home, and there’s room
for everyone to grow.
How do
mixed age classes work with different developmental levels?
Sometimes,
the best learning happens when we’re all together. Mixed age classes allow
families with siblings, friend groups, and anyone who’s drawn to the time slot
to attend. Educators accommodate powerful and enjoyable music and movement
activities for all stages of development, so that everyone is comfortable,
engaged, and learning!

Summer Themes
June Session Weeks - May 27, June 10, June 17, & June 24
No classes the week of June 3
Make Believe (June) Let's climb aboard the S.S. Pretend and set
sail for Royal Island! We'll dance the Pirate's Treasure Dance, visit the
castle of a king and queen, listen to a story about a silly pirate, and build a
pretend bonfire on the beach. Best of all, we will dress like pirates and kings
and queens! We will exercise our imaginations and express our creativity in
countless ways. Each Each Make Believe lesson is an
action-packed pretend-play adventure that focuses the fun on literacy,
movement, and sequencing. Ready to go? Anchors away!
July Session weeks - July 8, July 15, July 22, July 29
Wild Animal Park (July) Let’s take a trip to the Wild Animal Park!
We’ll slither like snakes and pounce like leopards, encounter tiny tree
frogs and enormous elephants, and visit amazing habitats that are high
and low, hot and cold, dry and rainy. Then, it’s time for the animals’
favorite activity, which they all do together. It’s the jungle
hokey-pokey!

Fall Themes
On the Go! (September): Children always seem to be on the go, which
makes this unit just their speed! You'll use locomotor skills and active
imaginations to drive in cars, chug along in trains, and bounce on pogo sticks.
You'll bumpity-bump, zippity-zoom, and stop-and-go-and-stop-and-go, because
it's non-stop learning when you're On the Go!
Around the Farm (October): Put on your overalls and boots
because it’s time to visit the farm! We’ll waddle like ducks, moo like cows, go
on a hayride, and listen to the wind blowing in the corn. As we play, sing, and
dance, we’ll strengthen our fine- and gross-motor skills, develop inhibitory
control, explore timbre, and so much more. Get ready to discover all there is
to see, hear, and do Around the Farm!
Home Sweet Home (November): Get ready to spruce up the house
in this home-themed unit. We’ll turn tasks such as cooking, cleaning, sawing,
painting, and hammering into fun, pretend-play activities that make us move
more creatively and use our imaginations. At the same time, we’ll explore the
relationship between sounds and symbols, and build community as we sing and
play together. Whether it’s a great big house (or a den, nest, or burrow!),
there’s no place like Home Sweet Home!
