Level 2 classes encourage older toddlers to initiate their own ideas, nurturing social-emotional growth and cognitive development in a playful, exploratory environment.

Music has always played a role in Mrs. Cara's life. She grew up in a musical family, with both parents being music educators. She played piano and French Horn throughout high school, college, and beyond. For several years she was a French Horn player for the Rockwall Community Band and a brass quintet called Rockwall Brass. After earning a Bachelor of Science degree in Biology from Missouri State University, Mrs. Cara taught High School Chemistry for five years. She continued her education to add a Masters in Counseling, focusing on children and adolescents. Mrs. Cara's latest adventure is being a mom to her three young children as well as a teenage daughter she recently adopted from Ukraine. She found Kindermusik as a parent, when she took her children to local classes. As a Kindermusik mom she loved the bonding time she had with her kids during class and the developmental benefits they were receiving. Now a Licensed Kindermusik Educator herself, Mrs. Cara loves sharing her passion for music with families in her own classroom.
