The R3 ECI Music Makers class promotes parent-child bonding, cognitive skills, social and emotional growth, language and physical motor development. A child’s interest in music offers tremendous opportunities to promote learning. It also helps children learn to listen, move their bodies, practice sounds and words, and experience joy. Classes are available for children 18 to 30 months that are enrolled in the ECI program.
