Cucu's PlayHouse Now Open in San Rafael

Cucu's PlayHouse, San Rafael's newest space for music and movement classes, is now open! Cucu's PlayHouse offers fun, active and educational music and story time classes in Spanish for children aged 3 months to 5 years old, with an emphasis on exposing the children to the Spanish language and to core values through music and play.

All of the toys used during the classes are educational, sustainable toys that encourage open play, creativity and imagination. Some of them are available for purchase as part of their small, hand-picked retail collection.

Classes are ideal for parents who would like to introduce their children to bilingualism. According to recent studies, the ideal time to start exposing children to a second language is when they're between 0 and 3 years of age. Exposing children to another language stimulates their brain development and has numerous cognitive, social, and cultural long-term benefits.

The Cucu's PlayHouse program is also ideal for Spanish-speaking parents who would like to engage their children in educational activities taught in their first language.

The program at Cucu's PlayHouse includes two different classes, scheduled with several options to fit different nap times. Drop-in classes cost $25 per class, with a $3 per class discount if you register for an eight-week semester. They also offer a free class for new participants.
