LITTLE PRAWNS LEARNING LAB · AGES 3–8

Turn every story into a symphony.

A kids music and reading program where every child finds their beat. Best of all, kids learn through rhythm, stories, and play, with a parent by their side.

Fun fact: a group of prawns is called a shoal.

Background music created by Eleanor, age 5.

Kids music education, re-imagined

Every child has their own beat, so we build learning around it.

Music-integrated learningIn every activity, songs, instruments, and beats are woven right in.
Beat-based literacyRhythm makes reading memorable, because kids clap, tap, and chant their way into stories.
Cultural celebrationPlus, we share diverse stories and sounds from around the world through music and movement.
