What is Circle Time?


Circle Time is a sing + dance-along class, for little ones and their grown ups.

We use music, movement + stories to promote cognitive development, practice core skills, build a sense of belonging and most importantly, have fun!  All of these are vital to our learning process. 

You and your child will join along in familiar songs + some new ones too! We incorporate movement elements, and a story. 

In-person Circle Times are held across Toronto, while virtual Circle Times can be accessed from across the world! 

Our programming is geared towards 3 different age groups: 

Babies (up to 14 months), Mid Kids (12-24 months) and Big Kids (24 months + up).

“Nash is a fabulous teacher. My child loves the way she's so animated with her body, facial expressions + intonation of her voice! We were hooked since the first class and have been with Nash for many sessions. She takes time to recognize each child at the beginning of class, calls out things that are special to them and tries to do things that catch their attention. After a few classes with her, my child was able to sing the same songs on her own! As a parent, I love that Nash is very inclusive of all races, gender, parental roles and abilities in her teachings!”
