Classes

Singin' Beans is our weekly free music "class" with Charles. A friendly relaxed environment that encourages parent and caregiver participation, Singin' Beans will introduce children to multiple instruments including guitar, banjo, ukulele, dobro as well as various percussion tools. You can join us any Wednesday free with playspace admission! A life-long musician, Charles has years of experience in writing and leading music for children of all ages while focusing on fostering children's deep well of natural musical ability.

A music class that uses movement to foster children’s love for music, teach parents songs they can take home, and gets children and parents moving and dancing together. The class will be ever changing but with a familiar format. That way children know what to expect and parents don’t go crazy. We will use props, simple instruments, creativity and some good old-fashioned rock and roll. Class sessions are 30 minutes and last 8 weeks. If you register for a one week session your registration will be for that weeks class.  

Let your kids learn to tumble, roll, hop and bop. Kids will have a blast learning basic agility and balance skills while they play and explore in the soft play environment within the Little Beans Classroom. Tumbling activities, exercises, games, and more will change each week. Parents will participate in the activities with their toddler and learn agility and balance games to try at home.

Each Thursday between May 30th and October 31st we will offer Theme Thursdays. If you dress up in or wear something reflective of the weeks theme you get $6 admission that day (each child- first and siblings). Below are the weekly themes so mark your calendar!
