Get your groove on and strengthen early literacy skills at the same time! We’ll read one book but also do plenty of stretching, singing, dancing, rhyming, jumping, and even instrument play. You’ll have a blast helping your little one rock out. (Caregivers should plan on attending and helping little ones to engage, feel comfortable, and enjoy early literacy.) Target Audience: 2-7 years old | Registration encouraged to help us plan but not required Music & Movement is held weekdays on Wednesdays at 9:30 AM and 10:30 AM. Please note that we do a weekday storytime cycle of three weeks on and one week off (to allow for planning time).
Today’s special edition of Music and Movement will be taught by a guest instructor from the Tippi Toes Dance Company of Des Moines! Have fun while you burn some energy and experience the joys of dance, self-expression, and movement!
