The Brookfield Academy for Mini Musicians (formerly Ms.
Clara’s Mini Musicians) is one of the fastest-growing early childhood music and movement schools in the Chicagoland area. Their classes for kiddos from 4 months – 5 years are not only fun and playful, but they also grow with your child, targeting developmental milestones every step of the way.
From socialization to language development to motor skills, their one-of-a-kind curriculum inspires creativity and builds both musical and non-musical skills that extend far beyond the classroom. But most importantly, nothing beats the pure joy seen on little ones’ faces as they master a tricky drum pattern, giggle uncontrollably as they sing a silly song, and make new friends.
$5 demo classes are offered year-round, and their weekly classes are offered on a month-to-month basis with no semester minimums. But classes fill up fast, so sign up today and enter KIDLIST25 for a $25 new student discount!
