Little Prelude is New York's musician-led childcare agency. Our caregivers are professional musicians and performing artists trained at the highest level, devoted to children, and each personally vetted by our founder.
Music becomes meaningful for them when it is shared through a genuine relationship.
That's why we don't separate childcare from music education. When your caregiver is also an artist, music stops being another scheduled activity and becomes part of everyday life — a song while baking cookies, a rhythm game on the walk home, a lullaby that becomes part of your own bedtime routine.
Safe, joyful care from caretakers who see them, encourage them, and open the door to a lifetime of creativity.
One trusted person who provides both exceptional childcare and meaningful artistic mentorship with the consistency children need.
Meaningful, fairly paid work that honors the years you've devoted to their art.
Share about your children, your schedule, and what you're hoping for. Every inquiry is read by Taylor personally.
Our founder pairs you with an artist-caregiver suited to your family — interviewed in person, background-checked, reference-verified, and CPR/First Aid-certified. You meet before anything begins.
Consistent care, woven through with music, documented in Musical Moments after every visit.
After every visit, you'll receive a Musical Moment — a small window into your child's day. Not a checklist finished or a safety report. A real glimpse of a real moment.
Over months and years, these add up to something: a record of a child falling in love with music, in their own way, at their own pace.
Founding families are the priority in our matching process, and Taylor is personally involved in every introduction. Spots are limited.
You’re on the founding families list. Taylor will be in touch personally as we get closer to launch.
