I'm teaching a sweet class at the Children's Choir of Chico! Little Notes is a fun class for babies and their mamas. We will sing and dance, bounce and rhyme. We will talk about incorporating little songs into daily rhythms with your baby, like diaper changes and getting dressed, that will bring joy to your days and intentionality to your mothering. We will check in with each other and connect as mamas. We will delight in our little ones as they respond to the most beautiful sound they know, the sound of their mama’s voice.

This sweet class is starting next week! Call to register!
