Known affectionately as “Miss Amy,” she brings warmth, patience, and flexibility to every class, blending routines and consistency with engaging, imaginative play. In her classes, children and their caregivers explore musical concepts using instruments and props like scarves, hula hoops, parachutes, and bubbles. Movement activities are a key feature, fostering bonding between parent and child—especially as babies experience rhythm and movement while cradled in a parent’s arms.

Introducing new parents and their little ones to new and traditional songs; working on tummy time, grasping, rhythm, sign language and instrument exploration. Creating a comfortable environment to encourage socialization and bonding.

Toddlers (1 to 2 years) - Wednesdays at 11:30am
