Early Childhood Music Therapy

Support for Toddlers and Young Children

Discover how early childhood music therapy supports language, behavior, and development through fun, evidence-based sessions for toddlers and young children.

Give Your Child a Strong Start Through Music 

When your toddler struggles with speech, focus, or social interaction, it can leave you feeling unsure of what to do next. You want to help—but not every approach works for little ones.

At OC Music Services, our Early Childhood Intervention Music Therapy Program is designed for children ages 0–3 who need extra support in communication, attention, sensory regulation, and social development. Early childhood music therapy uses music-based interventions to support developmental goals. It’s fun, engaging, and led by board-certified music therapists trained to address speech, sensory, social, and motor needs through music.

  • Build social connections and eye contact

  • Regulate emotions and behavior

  • Strengthen fine and gross motor coordination

Our sessions are fun, family-centered, and rooted in developmental goals—making learning feel safe and joyful.

FAQs

Do I need a referral to start?

No referral is needed! Parents can contact us directly. However, we do collaborate with pediatricians, speech therapists, regional centers, and early intervention providers.

How is music therapy different from a music class?

Unlike a traditional music class, music therapy focuses on therapeutic goals such as communication, behavior, attention, or emotional regulation. Every activity is designed from research based and play strategies to meet your child’s needs.

Where are sessions held?

Sessions are held at our inclusive studio in Irvine, California, conveniently located for families across Orange County. * We are also available to hold sessions at your child’s daycare or home based on travel and time availability

Can I attend the session with my child?

Yes! Caregiver participation can help your child feel more secure and gives you the chance to learn simple, effective strategies you can use at home. Practicing these skills between sessions helps reinforce progress and supports your child’s development.
