U
MATILLA — If you are look-
ing for a fun and educa-
tional activity to enjoy with your
baby, the Umatilla Beats for
Babies class is for you.
The fi rst of its kind in the
area, Beats for Babies is a
music/sensory class that gives
children ages 0-48 months the
opportunity to bond with other
kids, spend quality time with
parents outside, play instru-
ments and listen and sing to
educational songs.
“There is a huge benefi t to this
class because there really are
not many opportunities here for
children of this age to interact,”
said Hannah Keister, community
development coordinator.
Genesis Zuniga, instructor
and creator of Beats for Babies,
noticed the lack of infant and
toddler activities in the Umatilla
area and took the initiative to
create an aff ordable and safe
space for children to learn.
Zuniga said she also wanted

to give parents the opportunity
to connect with other parents to
share stories, off er advice and
feel a sense of community.
Keister said another ben-
efit of the class is to “make
connections while also being
affordable for everyone in our
community.”
