What to expect based on your child’s age:
All adults attending are encouraged to sing and move to the activities!
Babies in slings/carriers (no strollers please):
Under 12 months approximately: Our littlest ones will learning by watching and moving around with their grown-up. The more the grown-up sings and participates, the more they experience the music. However, they learn a lot by observing. Being outside and immersing them in nature is highly valuable!
Early walkers (no strollers please):
12-24 months approximately: These toddlers will need a little extra help with some of the movement. They will not likely follow the actions as much as observe and explore the area. When their grown-ups sing and participate, they are stimulated by the music no matter what they are doing.
Independent walkers:
2-3 year olds approximately: These newly independent students will enjoy walking and running with the group. This is personality dependent, because some children ultimately prefer to observe, which just as effective! The grown-ups attending with them may need to help them with some jumping and climbing as well.
Big kids:
3 years and up: These pre-schoolers will be able to do most of our activities, if they want to. Grown-ups are invited to join in and sing along as their models but they will likely do so as well. At this age, their behaviour and response is personality dependent. Some children ultimately prefer to observe, especially at first, which just as effective!
