Winter/Spring Themes
Mama Goose (January): Nursery rhymes endure for a reason. They are quirky,
rhymey, and memorable–and are also magical for speech and language development,
as they work to “wire” the brain for communication before speech even begins!
What bliss to share something with your child that your parents shared with
you–or better yet, to learn and share one for the very first time!
Peekaboo! (February): A house with a baby is a house full of love. (And
fun…and toys…and noise!) Peekaboo! peeks into the “1, 2, 3, punch” patterns of
repetition, anticipation, and surprise. Have fun with vocal play, sensory
exploration, and learning through play.
Bluebird, Bluebird (March): Chirp! Tweet! Quack! This unit is a
sound-rich flight (of fancy) into the sky, where you’ll explore birds,
feathers, and the outdoors.
Nature Walk (April): Let’s explore the wonders and sensations of the
outdoors! We’ll use our eyes to look all around, and our ears to listen
to all of the sounds we hear. Plus, we’ll touch, and smell, and move, and
play! There’s no feast for the senses quite like a Nature Walk.

No Classes the week of June 3
Busy Days (June) Who says babies have it easy? These sure are Busy Days–all around town, with errands here and adventures there, and fun and movement ’til the day is done.
July Session weeks - July 8, July 15, July 22, July 29
Music Makes My Day (July) If you think about it, your
day-to-day routine is a lot like a piece of music. Ups, downs,
repetitions, patterns, fast parts, slow parts, and lots (and lots) of
improvising! Music Makes My Day focuses on daily
rituals and parts of the day, and gets you thinking about anticipation,
improvisation, singing, instruments, new rituals, and other ways to make
your same-old routine fun and musical.

Fall Themes
Little Red Caboose (September): All aboard! Little Red Caboose
is all about—you guessed it—trains, trains, trains! Hitch on up for a
chuggity-chug voyage through train sounds, train movements, train activities,
and train songs. Woo-woo!
Old MacDonald (October): Time to tune up baby’s listening
ears, because we’re off to the farm! With a hee-haw here and a cock-a-doodle
there–when Old MacDonald gets involved, you never know whom
you might run into.
Nighty Night (November): It’s nighttime, but not quite
bedtime yet! Let’s use our vision to explore the night. We’ll see the moon and
the twinkling stars, and say hello to Wee Willie Winkie and the man in the
moon! Finally, it’s time to get ready for beddy-bye—with bathtime, a little
playtime, and then it’s time to say Nighty Night!
