Encourage creativity, empathy, and kindness among kiddos at all different stages of their childhood development in a Mixed Age Wiggleworms class!

These classes support little ones from 6 months to 4 years old and invite children to learn from each other in a mixed-age social setting. The environment opens up opportunities for infants and toddlers to learn social skills from their older peers, while the more advanced kids learn to model for and nurture their younger companions (plus, these classes are perfect for siblings!) 💖

This one’s dedicated to all our superhero bus drivers (and riders!) out there 🚌 🎵

“The Wheels on the Bus” is an American folk song written in the 1930’s by Verna Hills, and generations of new music lovers have been singing it all around the world ever since. Lyrics like, "the lights on the bus go blink, blink, blink," also make for fun fingerplays kids and caregivers can do together in a Wiggleworms class!

Get on board at any time since all offerings in the Wiggleworms program have rolling enrollment. Learn more at ots.fm/wiggleworms!

There's nothing like the warmth of a Lullabies class to help withstand cold January days 💕❄️🎵

These special classes in the Wiggleworms program are geared toward newborns up to 6 months old and help recent parents and caregivers connect with their babies through music. The gentle movements and soft songs are perfect for your little one's early development.

A new session of Lullabies starts today on 1/6, but we understand that schedules with an infant can be unpredictable, so all classes in the Wiggleworms program offer rolling enrollment! Browse our website or contact our friendly customer service team to learn more.
