Testimonials

We absolutely love going to Songs n Swings classes since the start in 2020. It was the only fun outdoor activity that we were able to attend during COVID. Monica, the founder of Songs n Swings, is such an incredible mom that has created a fun activity for our little ones. To this day, our kids still love going to Songs n Swings classes to sing, dance and play with other kids or attend an educational tour at a local fire department! Not only it’s a great opportunity to keep our kids active but also for parents to connect with other parents. Highly recommend, if you’re looking for a fun activity!” - L.G

“The classes at Songs and swings have always been so much fun! The musicians engage the children & the parents though-out. We appreciate how much thought & effort Monica puts in to give us an opportunity to have fun with our little ones! Every class has been such a success with tiny kids having the best time. We look forward to every Songs & Swings session! Thank you for all that you do!-P.K.

Meet The Slivka’s

Meet Monica & Daniel Slivka

In 2020 when all classes were shut down, Monica and Dan were in need of a community of families with their then 6 month old daughter inspiring the creation of Songs ‘n Swings. A class series designed to keep parents, caretakers and children engaged through music and activity classes outdoors. Through Instagram, Monica was able to connect with local business owners, musicians and children entertainers. In trading evening networking events for a morning of music and movement with their daughter, Monica and Daniel were able to connect with other families and build the Songs ‘n Swings community. Fast forward a few years to a network of local families connecting with each other at classes in Lakeview, Lincoln Park, Andersonville and Edgewater! Classes are complimentary for families sponsored by Monica and Daniel or local businesses and vendors.
