At Walking Sideways, our mission is to nurture young minds through the power of music and play. Inspired by the foundational principles of Piaget, Montessori, and Vygotsky, we believe that children learn best when they are engaged and having fun. Our program fosters holistic development by creating joyful, interactive experiences that promote creativity, social skills, and a lifelong love of learning​.

Book readings and performances 2023 - 2024
My event includes songs that tell a story, if you have space where children can move it would be ideal. Also, it's best if I can be amplified as I have backing tracks to my stories but I can modify the performance to acoustic if necessary.
"We loved having Renee at our daughter's 2nd birthday party! Her thoughtful, fun and musical storytime was engaging and entertaining for the 20 toddlers. She was incredibly professional and kind and I'd love to hire her again for our next party! Thank you Renee!"
