Calling all Lap Babies, Crawlers & Walkers through 18 months!

Relish in the fleeting moments of your baby's 1st year and a half. They don't stay little for long. Village class is a place where you can celebrate these moments. The tender curriculum of Dream Pillow is about Baby's bedtime. The loving interaction that defines the rituals of rocking, nursing, cuddling and singing is the essence of Dream Pillow. You are invited to enjoy bedtime closeness with Baby at any time of day by listening more closely, sharing the gifts of singing and talking with Baby, and exploring and extending the musicality of Baby's environment. Our Kindermusik class activities are easily woven into your family's daily routines. You will find many upbeat and playful activities as well as an array of stimulating and age-appropriate things and instruments for Baby to explore. There is a swirling dream cloud dance, on the one hand ("Meet Me Tonight in Dreamland"), but there is also a dance to the exuberant and humorous recording of "Tants, Tants, Yidelekh!" Other favorite dances include, "Skinnamarink," "Sur le pont d'Avignon" and "Maypole Dance." You will enjoy quiet play with chime balls to "Dance of the Sugar Plum Fairy" and you will revel in the clatter of drums while singing "Sarasponda." Baby will handle humongous scarves, drums, hair curlers, drums, clackers, egg shakers, chime balls, mirrors and baby bells. In addition, he will hear the sound of the slide whistle and resonator bars. Favorite lullabies are "May There Always Be Sunshine," "O, How Lovely Is the Evening," "Rock-a-bye, Baby," "Manx Lullaby" and "Latvian Lullaby." Each of the musical activities in Dream Pillow was carefully planned and stimulates development in every area of Baby's growing brain, promoting Baby's physical, social, cognitive, emotional, and language development.
