Ladeeda! FAQs

​

I'm looking for in-person classes. Will you be offering them?

Yes! Summer '22 will be in-person and a flexible schedule! 

 

We'll bring you the joy and creativity you know and love in our Ladeeda programs in an adapted format for this session. We'll continue to evaluate and make decisions for each new session in the coming year.

​

What if I'm not musically inclined?

Everyone is welcome! No music experience is needed for any of our Ladeeda programs. We're focused on providing a fun and caring place to nurture children and adults in the art of confident self-expression. Our classes are about relaxing and having fun with music while connecting with each other.

​

If I miss the start date, is it too late to join?

Not at all! You're welcome to join us anytime where spaces are available. Please contact us for schedule and availability.

 

Where are you meeting?

For Summer/Fall '22 our program will meet outside at beautiful Austin Park. In case of bad weather (wind or rain) we will cancel class and you will not be charged.

When do I pay?  What payments do you accept?

We will invoice families at the end of our Summer '22 session based on the number of classes you attended: minimum 4 classes.

 

Your payment will be processed through a secure off-site location. Credit and debit cards are accepted.

 

Why do you offer infant classes? Would my child benefit more to wait until they're older and more interactive?

Every child's development benefits from early introduction to music and movement. Research tells us what we knew all along . . . early integration of singing, dancing, rhymes, stories, and of course cuddles with you (!) in your child's daily routine helps them blossom. These beautiful experiences improves their ability to think, reason, create and express. All while bonding with you!

 

You are your child's first and most important teacher. Our format is thoughtfully designed to support you in bringing lovely fun, learning and interactment into your lives. Our music and movement experiences are rich and diverse with all genres of high quality music, instruments, voices and cultures selected especially for children. You'll learn songs, rhymes and dances to enjoy with your baby while creating memories together.

 

Who can join the family classes? Only parents, or can we invite other relatives?

Our community is intergenerational.  Ladeeda is for any child with their favorite grownups - caregivers, relatives, friends or neighbors.  Additional adults are welcome!

​

Can I bring my child's siblings?

Sibling(s) may come and bring a quiet activity to do in a nearby area (such as a book or puzzle). For safety, siblings are asked not to leave to play in other areas of the park unless accompanied by an extra adult.

 

Or sibling(s) can join in a music and movement class with their younger sibling if they will play gently with the children and participate as a "helper."

 

For everyone's safety, rowdy play isn't allowed (tumbling, running, rough play with each other or with props and instruments).
