“We’ve been going to Ms. Shay’s class since the twins were 6 months old. They love it! It’s a perfect blend of routine and new things. Lots of fun music and a teacher who is wonderful, passionate about music and great at teaching kids at their level.”

“Kiddos and Kin is an amazing place. My daughter has been going to weekly classes for about 7 months now and she’s learned so much. Being a parent who gets to attend the class is so rewarding as well. As a teacher myself, may I just SING (harr harr) the praises of Teacher Shay. It is such a pleasure to watch a truly skilled teacher at their craft, and Teacher Shay has it going on. She is extremely engaging for the little ones, keeps the pacing of the class tacking right along, and best of all: has a personal connection with each and every student. Not to mention, the class is FUN! If you’re looking for an educational opportunity and a way to engage with your little one, this is absolutely worth the monthly cost for your little one.”

“We started attending classes last September when my daughter was 9 months old and we had such a good time that we will be back again this year! The socialization has been great for her. We look forward to Kindermusik every week! We enjoy the home materials and listening to the music in the car. Shay is a great teacher and her passion for the program and the children/families she is teaching shows. We highly recommend signing up for classes at Kiddos and Kin!”

“Miss Shay is dynamite!! Her excitement is infectious, we are going on 7 years of knowing her! She has exceeded any expectations we had. Her ability to teach the children musically, encourage peer collaboration and sign language is brilliant! It is a true pleasure knowing her! We are so thrilled to start the fall season.”

“Shay’s class is by far our favorite time of the week. My two year old twins have blossomed in her class and found their musician within. The classes structure and curriculum are wonderful and age appropriate. I also really appreciate the emails explaining the science and reason behind each lesson and learning unit.
Shay is wonderful with all the children and doesn’t ever seemed phased by any “disruptions” that may occur. This really allows the kids to explore and learn and utilizes teaching moments.
We are most pleased with the effect the music classes have had in conjunction with their speech therapy. As speech delayed toddlers, music has helped them progress in their therapy faster than expected. Our therapist even mentioned that she notices a difference.
Overall, we can’t imagine not being in these classes. We are so pleased and highly recommend them!”
