Learn more about our Therapists on the ABOUT page.

 

​

WHAT: Our unique and interactive, evidence-based programs help children to develop quality connections, while also nurturing their development. Each group is designed to address specific goal areas including communication, motor skills, academics, focus, social/emotional development, impulse control, and more. Activities may include singing, music exploration, movement/dancing, chanting, improvisation, stories, musical games, sign-language songs, instrument-play, and more! 
 


WHERE: We do not have a centralized location. Our therapists provide music groups at many amazing locations all over the community! While many of our groups are in Johnson County, you can also find groups in Kansas City, Louisburg, Gardner, and more. We are always expanding to meet the needs of the community.
 


WHY: Many children love music in an innate way! Research has shown us that children also learn most effectively when they are motivated and having fun. This is why children are capable of learning so many things through exposure to music experiences. As Board-Certified Music Therapists, our teachers have been trained to design and adapt music activities to address the long-term brain development facilitating specific learning goals, milestones, behavior changes.
