What Early Steps is: A small-group, music therapy–led caregiver-and-child class focused on co-regulation, language, and playful routine building. It’s not a substitute for individual medical care or emergency services. (I follow the AMTA Code of Ethics and Standards of Clinical Practice.)
Schedule: 6 sessions, Weeks 1–5 on Zoom, Week 6 in a public park (weather permitting). If weather is poor, we meet on Zoom for the finale.
Tuition & refunds: Founding-cohort tuition is $150 per family (covers the full 6-week block). Class runs with 5+ families. If we don’t meet minimum enrollment, you’ll receive a full refund. Otherwise, tuition is non-refundable once the session begins.
Make-ups: One make-up is available via a recorded mini-class or a future drop-in if space allows. Seats aren’t held or rolled to future sessions.
Siblings: Infants under 9 months free; older siblings +$5 per visit if space allows.
Health & safety: Adults remain responsible for supervising their child at all times (Zoom and park). For the park session, choose comfortable shoes, sun protection, and water; alert me to allergies (e.g., grass, bees).
Telehealth consent (Zoom): By enrolling, you consent to receive services via telehealth. Telehealth may have privacy, security, and technology limitations; you can ask questions anytime and may withdraw consent. You agree to join from a private space when possible, use updated software, and not record sessions without permission.
Assumption of risk & release: Music and movement are physical activities. You agree to participate at your own risk, supervise your child, and release Music Makes Sense, LLC from claims arising from ordinary course participation, except in cases of gross negligence or willful misconduct.
Accessibility: I provide a simple visual schedule, low-volume options, and alternatives for each activity. Tell me what helps your child participate.
Contact: You’ll receive a brief weekly email with your Zoom link (Weeks 1–5), what to bring (e.g., scarf/shaker/blanket), and park details for Week 6.
