Whether you have an infant working on tummy time, or a toddler who needs a way to focus their energy, there are classes and activities out there that can help. And although it would be easier to enroll your child in day care or drop them off at class for an hour, sometimes it’s nice to engage in activities together and be a part of your son’s or daughter’s developmental growth. From mommy and me yoga classes to gymnastics and music, Denver offers a little something for all skill levels and interests.
And remember: These classes aren’t just for mamas — partners, as well as babysitters, nannies, and mother’s helpers, are always welcome to share in the fun, too!

With five locations to choose from in the Denver Metro area, Twinkle Together is one of the more convenient ways to connect with your child while surrounded by a community of parents. The Music Together class is offered in two categories: for mixed ages up to 5 years and for newborns to nonmobile 6-month-olds. Your child is given the opportunity to develop their music competence while exploring various easy-to-use instruments. If parents decide to take it one step further, Twinkle Together also offers adult-only classes.
Whether your child is swinging from the rafters already or they need a little push to be more focused in activity, the Toddler/Parent class at Dardano’s School of Gymnastics could be the right fit for both of you. With minimal instruction, this class focuses on allowing parents and their children to explore the gym space in a safe environment. Each week the gym is set up for different gross motor movement circuits, allowing your child to have fun but also master various obstacles.
