For babies and their caregivers.

This class is great for babies who are not yet walking. Once your child is toddling, Level 1 is a great fit.

Did you know sound recognition begins in the womb? Foundations classes are all about exploring and reacting to new sounds, objects, and movements. Plus, parents and caregivers heighten connections with their babies by learning bonding techniques.

Level Description

Kindermusik Foundations

The Foundations class is so much more than lullabies and swaying. We teach families how sound exploration, listening activities, and dances help babies communicate, stimulate eye-tracking skills, and learn to move and coordinate new muscles.

Developmental Benefits

Movement Control
Different movement activities help babies strengthen their core muscles, which increases their sense of balance and control over movements.
Social Adaptability
Group activities allow babies to experience familiar and unfamiliar social experiences in a safe and secure way.
Listening and Communication Skills
Listening to music and doing vocal play exercises helps develop a baby’s back-and-forth communication skills.
Language and Literacy Development
Introducing spoken sounds and rhythms through songs and rhymes helps support language and literacy development.
