Most classes for babies provide a free trial experience. Take advantage of these freebies before committing to a paid class. Try to talk your other mama friends into joining you so it’s the most fun for YOU.
Your 41st weekly challenge is to contact a local music, dance, or exercise class for moms and babies, and arrange to take a free class.
Many of your local gymnastics studios for kids will offer a free trial experience, and here are four national chains with free class offers on their websites:
- Kindermusik offers classes for babies, toddlers, preschoolers and big kids and each class is 45 minutes long.
- Gymboree classes for babies focus on either music or playing – you can choose.
- Music Together is mixed age classes up to age five and the classes are an hour long.
- My Gym is a children’s “fitness center” that starts classes with parent participation at age – get this – six weeks!
You may find that your local independent music or movement centers for kids offer a free trial visit as well. Have you tried any? Let us know!
Not ready for this rookie mom challenge? Go back and start with an easier one.
Did not think about trying out the freebies. Will do with second child!
Wow, I didn’t know classes exist for babies that young!
I started taking Kindermusik classes with my daughter when she was 4 months old. I do recommend the free trial to find the class where you connect best with the teacher AND the other moms in the class. Those other moms can be a great support system!
These are awesome classes… I love how you can start early — 4 months. Lisa’s right though… make sure you click with the other Moms!
My little guy and I have been going to My Gym since he was 6 months old. We both love it. 🙂
What a helpful post – I found two local classes and signed my 4 month old and I up for them. Thanks!
