PLAY = WORK FOR KIDS
PLAY = WORK for children, and they work HARD. . When your child plays, they are developing their skills to explore and understand the world around them. They'll copy what they observe, and put it into their own play to to try with friends. That's why exposing them early to music is important; If they don't internalize music and movement, they won't drive their own musical play and development. . 👉 www.music-lesson.ca/classes TO REGISTER 📞 416-651-7529 . 🎵 . 📍 #toronto #oakwood #stclairwest #wychwood #college #ossington #brampton #Caledon #woodbridge #vaughan . 🎵 . #abcacademy #musictogether #musictogethetoronto #musictogetherclass #torontomoms #torontodads #torontobabies #torontotoddler #torontofamily #torontoparents #parenthood #torontomomandbabies #torontomomblogger
