Classes take place in Woodward's multipurpose room, and are for children aged between 6 months to 2 1/2 years of age.
Enrollment is limited to 10 children and their caregivers on a first come / first served basis.
We welcome you to sign-up using the links below each class description.

Tuesdays from 9:15 AM - 10:00 AM
This class is for children between 6 months to 2 1/2 years of age to be able to participate in Woodward's very special music program.
Through play and the introduction of music literacy, class will be a combination of a voice warmup, rhythm songs, movement songs, and instrument songs. These songs will focus on the essential skills to help build basic music competency (singing in tune and staying in rhythm). Each child processes music differently, and the class is geared toward caregiver participation.

Caregiver Participation is part of the experience: This encourages necessary support to your child as needed, space to share insights and ask questions, and a place to connect with other families.
Each Child’s Developmental Journey is Unique: We follow your toddler's lead, observing their choices and celebrating their growth.
Our daughter, Eyla, had a truly joyful and enriching experience at Woodward Nursery School, attending both the Rainbow and Little
Stars classes. From cooking and learning Spanish to reading books and imaginative play with dolls, each day was filled with engaging,
developmentally appropriate activities. The warmth and attentiveness of the teachers created a nurturing environment where Eyla thrived
socially and emotionally. As parents, we were continually impressed by the thoughtful communication through newsletters and photos that
beautifully captured the spirit of the school. Woodward is a special place that fosters curiosity, creativity, and community—we're
so grateful for our time there.
