About Us
WE LIKE TO PARTY!
OUR HISTORY
Rock ‘n’ Kids was founded in 1995 by President and CEO Jamie Puffpaff as a way for young children to learn about themselves and the world around them through music and movement! Starting with only one program called Kid Rock for 3-5 year olds, Rock ‘n’ Kids has grown to currently offer six programs: Baby Rock, Tot Rock, Kid Rock I, Kid Rock II, Family Rock and Senior Rock!

​
As a mobile company, we have the flexibility to travel anywhere there are children! Spanning a 50-mile radius, classes are offered at more than 60 locations in the Chicagoland area at park districts, preschools and childcare centers. We believe in teaching through play, and incorporate all developmental domains in our curriculum—physical, sensory, cognitive and social-emotional. Our approach is to weave learning into the fabric of fun. At Rock 'n' Kids, children are captivated by engaging activities, fostering natural development. Experience the delight of our classes and find one near you!

​
Rock ‘n’ Kids also does parties and events for children ages 1 through 5! In addition to our own programs and events, we are also proud to partner with the non-profit Music for the Ages, providing Senior Rock events at senior living communities. We encourage you to explore all that we have to offer, and we hope to see you soon at a class or event near you!​​​​​​​​​​​​

MEET MUSIC FOR THE AGES & SENIOR ROCK
​​We partner with Music for the Ages and help them bring smiles to seniors & families around Chicagoland! Music for the Ages is a 501(c)(3) non-profit that hosts free, intergenerational music & movement events at senior living communities. During these events, seniors and young children (6 months-6 years) will enjoy music, instruments, games, simple movements and more! Funded by donations, these events boost social and emotional well-being for all. Join us by participating, donating, volunteering, or connecting us with a senior community.
