With a mix of both parent-child joint activities and child-focused activities, you’ll be able to join right in on all the singing and dancing while also getting the chance to observe how your older baby or toddler learns on her own.
May theme: On the Town with Bear
Lace up your sneakers, we're going out on the town! We'll visit the city and see what there is to see, then head out into the country to check that out, too.

We also connect you with other parents who share in the wonder of parenting a preschooler.
May theme: Animals a-Dancing
Get ready for lots of ribbity-hopping, trumpety-stomping and oinkity-rolling! Animals a-Dancing uses the movements and sounds of frogs, elephants, and pigs to emphasize how many movements you can make with your body and how many sounds you can make with your voice. You will love moving every which way while singing the songs of our animal friends!
