Music and Movement with Kristen Fischer
Join Ms. Kristen from Music Together North Shore for an upbeat, highly interactive music class. Using research-based techniques and a whole lot of silly fun, Ms. Kristen brings early childhood music education to a whole new level – this is NOT your typical “baby music class.” Ideal for babies (0-2 years). Brand new parents will learn how to engage musically with your baby, how to identify your newborn’s musical responses, and how to use music to connect and grow together. For our babies and toddlers, the activities will provide your children with creative opportunities to playfully engage with music through dance, instruments, chants, and more.  

Baby Yoga with Carlie Aizenberg
This gentle and engaging class is designed for babies (0-2 years) and their caregivers to bond through movement, breath, and play. Together, we’ll explore simple yoga poses, mindful breathing techniques, and soothing stretches that support both caregiver well-being and baby’s development. Learn simple ways to incorporate yoga and mindfulness into your daily routine and walk away feeling grounded and relaxed. Adult participation is required, and no prior yoga experience is necessary. Come prepared to move, connect, and relax with your little one in a supportive and nurturing environment. Taught by Carlie Aizenberg, certified Kids’ Yoga Instructor.

Sensory Art for Babies with Andrea Kitsis
Get ready for colorful, hands-on fun! In this sensory art class, babies explore a variety of textures, colors, and materials through age-appropriate, process-focused activities. From squishy paints to soft sponges and safe, taste-friendly materials, your little one will enjoy open-ended creative play that supports cognitive development, fine motor skills, and sensory awareness. No pressure to create a masterpiece—it’s all about the experience! Come dressed for a mess and enjoy watching your baby’s curiosity and creativity come to life.
