Babble

SCHEDULE STARTING JANUARY 2007

PLAY offers a wide variety of fun and educational classes you can share in with your child. Most classes that take place during regular PLAY hours and are free to members.

Check back often, as we are continually adding classes. We are hoping to add toddler yoga classes, and a "mommy & me" yoga class soon. Want to see a class that we don't offer? We'll do our best to accommodate you - just email Kate at zrenner@earthlink.net.

*** Special class: Music For Aardvarks -- mark your calendars now!!! ***

Come join in the fun at Music for Aardvarks classes - a musical experience for parents and children ages 3 months to 5 years. We will explore music through song & gesture, dance & movement, rhythm training, and instrument play, using original music that celebrates the lives of children growing up in an urban environment. Written by David Weinstone, songs like Taxi, City Kid, and Subway provide children with a positive image of their world and help them relate to their surroundings.
