Miss Laura comes to You

Book a special in-home or event experience with Miss Laura! I bring interactive storytime, music and movement directly to you-creating a fun, meaningful, and memorable experience for young children.

Miss Laura’s Piano Studio

Beginners age 4+ to Intermediate. Miss Laura teaches in her home studio in Cottage Grove, MN. Spring and Christmas Recitals included.
Just a quick update, my piano classes are still on pause for now. I’m working behind the scenes to find the right fit, and I’m hopeful for a new beginning down the road. I’ll keep you posted!

Miss Laura & the Military Child

I’ve written and published a picture book and a companion teacher’s guide focused on the military child, created to help children feel seen, supported, and proud of their story. Alongside the books, I created a music album that ties everything together and brings the message to life in a joyful, meaningful way. I’m also available for special events, where I share my story and lead simple, engaging activities and crafts from the books.

Miss Laura’s Cosmic Kids Yoga

As a professionally trained and certified Cosmic Kids Yoga instructor, I bring movement, mindfulness, and imagination together in a way that truly connects with young children. My classes are designed to engage kids through storytelling, music, and playful yoga sequences that support physical development, focus, and emotional well-being. Each session creates a joyful, nurturing environment where children can build confidence, express themselves, and develop healthy habits that last a lifetime.

Miss Laura’s Little Athletes Gym Class

Miss Laura’s Little Athletes Gym Class is a joyful, movement-based experience designed for young children and their caregivers. Through music, imaginative play, and engaging activities, little ones run, jump, march, and explore using props like hula hoops, ribbons, and parachutes.

Circle time gently builds listening skills, participation, and confidence, creating a strong foundation for early learning. Each class blends physical activity with social and developmental growth-making it the prefect first class for your child.

Come for the movement, stay for the smiles, and watch your little one thrive!

Miss Laura’s A Little Music in Little Me!

I am a professionally trained Music Rhapsody teacher offering joyful, mommy-and-me style music classes designed for young children and their caregivers. Through singing, movement, rhythm instruments, and playful interaction, children are introduced to the foundations of music in a nurturing, engaging environment. Each class supports early childhood development while creating meaningful moments of connection between parent and child.

Miss Laura’s Story Time

I offer on site storytime and enrichment experiences for homes, schools and special events. Each session blends storytelling, music, creative movement and exciting hands-on activities. Children are actively engaged through singing, movement and creative play, making each visit both meaningful and memorable.

These experiences are ideal for playgroups, celebrations, community events, and early childhood programs.

I am so grateful and thankful for the service Laura has provided. Her talent and skills are truly appreciated.
I remember the first time we attended, I was so blown away by how amazing she is; able to keep all the kids attention for the full hour! I have seen my daughter grow and excel in so many different ways due in part to her dedication and hard work. Thank you so much. Hands down, Laura is by far the best. And, if you don’t know me, I am a hard core storytimer!

About Miss Laura

For as long as I can remember, I’ve been drawn to the joy, movement, and connection that happens when young children and their caregivers learn together. I’ve spent years creating and teaching early childhood programs that blend music, movement, and simple piano exploration—spaces where little ones can grow in confidence while adults feel welcomed, supported, and part of something meaningful.
My background includes leading children’s fitness and “mommy-and-me” style classes, teaching storytime on Navy bases, and working with families from all walks of life—including time spent living overseas in Japan. These experiences have shaped the way I teach: with flexibility, warmth, and a deep respect for each child’s unique pace.
After a season of personal loss, I’m stepping back into this work with renewed purpose. I believe that even in life’s hardest moments, there is room for joy, connection, and new beginnings—and I’m passionate about creating spaces where that can happen naturally.
Whether we’re singing, moving, or sitting side-by-side at the piano, my goal is simple: to help children feel capable and to help families feel connected.
