After sampling multiple toddler music classes, I found Wee Bop's to be the most engaging, thoughtful, and responsive to the needs of the children. I love how the teacher let's children explore real instruments, it was so refreshing! We were also pleased that the class was the most affordable of the 4 organizations we were considering! -JB, parent
