Parents & Teachers: This is a must have ! Parents- Whether you're on a road trip or going to the grocery store, your child can be occupied by listening to something that can help him developmentally! Even rainy days can sometimes be a bore-without age appropriate activities/music. We can get those bodies moving, while letting extra energy out can be much needed! Additionally, you can interact with your children, for more fun. And these quality interactions build growth and development-by making learning meaningful. Teachers- Are you running out of music & movement ideas? Or are you in need of more Group Time songs to enhance your curriculum?
