Fiona Bruce MP supports free music and movement classes for babies
Fiona Bruce MP is calling on Congleton constituents to utilise the 6 free music and movement lessons for babies under 6 months currently being offered by Jo Jingles East Cheshire.
Run by local resident Alison Wright, Jo Jingles East Cheshire operates across the Congleton constituency, providing music, singing and movement classes for babies and pre-school children to aid their early development.
Fiona Bruce said:
"It is widely recognised by healthcare and educational experts that exposing a baby to music is one of the most effective ways to aid their early development and I encourage parents and carers across the constituency to experience the tangible benefits of music, singing and movement for babies."
Alison Wright said:
"Most of us instinctively understand that our children react positively to songs, but what we may not fully appreciate is how those endless repetitions of "Twinkle Twinkle" are a fundamental part of our babies mental, physical and social development helping our children to "wire up" their brains, develop their speech and improve their coordination."
Alison continued:
"Parents and carers can benefit too - it is believed that musicians are less likely to suffer from senile dementia!".
Jo Jingles baby classes usually last 30 minutes and aim to develop a love of music in babies whilst having interactive fun.
