Each seven-week Parent & Child class is designed for new parents and their young children from infants to 3 years of age to explore different themed worlds like Broadway, Under the Sea, Space, and Animals – all led by two YADA teachers guiding our darling duos through sing-a-longs while performing animated storylines and engaging the room through movement and sensory explorations skills like drums, bells, shakers, and scarves.
YADA MINIS is more than just a class—it's a journey where both Parent & Child can connect, learn, and grow together. We understand that children thrive when their parents do, and our program is designed to support both of you in a nurturing, joyful, and stimulating environment to meet other new parents, learn more about your child's development, and get out of the house and move.
YADA MINIS Program will have multiple themed classes, in addition to Broadway, to keep your community and development going in Space or Under the Sea!
Our first 7-week theme is:
MINIS BROADWAY: A Journey Through Broadway's Best
You and your child will embark on a seven week Broadway musical adventure! Each week, we’ll immerse ourselves in a different musical, blending storytelling, songs, instruments, and dance to create a multi-sensory experience that will captivate both you and your child. Through playful movements, singing, and interactive storytelling, you’ll bond with your child as you bring the story to life with imaginative props, rhythmic activities, and simple instruments, introducing your baby to the joy of music while fostering sensory exploration and connection.

Why YADA MINIS?
At YADA MINIS, we believe that the early years of a child's life are crucial for development, and we want to help you make the most of this precious time. Our program is designed to:
~ FOSTER BONDING: Every activity in YADA MINIS is created to strengthen the bond between you and your baby. From the songs you sing to the movements you make, each moment is an opportunity to connect on a deeper level.
~ ENCOURAGE DEVELOPMENT: Through music, singing, movement, theatrical storytelling, and sensory exploration, your baby will develop important cognitive, social, and motor skills. You'll also learn more about your baby's development and how to support their growth in a fun and engaging way.
~ BUILD COMMUNITY: YADA MINIS is a wonderful way to meet other new parents who are on the same journey as you. Share experiences, exchange tips, and build lasting friendships in a supportive and welcoming environment. The last 15 minutes of each class is community time where you can have a coffee and chat with the other parents and your child’s teacher.
~ BRING JOY: Above all, YADA MINIS is about having fun! We want you and your baby to leave each class with a smile on your face, a song in your heart, and a sense of joy that lasts long after the class is over.
We'd love for you to be a part of YADA MINIS!
