Kindermusik played a big role in Ms. Jessica's upbringing. Her mother owned and operated one of the largest Kindermusik programs in the Chicagoland area. Both her mother and father were heavily involved in the development of Kindermusik materials, having performed, recorded, and produced over 700 songs for Kindermusik International. Ms. Jessica can be heard singing on several of Kindermusik's most popular songs, many of which are still used in classes around the world today.
Music and working with children have always been Ms. Jessica's passions. After she had her first child, Ms. Jessica decided that she wanted her daughter to have the same musical upbringing as she did; one that was centered around the world-renowned Kindermusik curriculum. She founded Hug-A-Bug Music to offer Kindermusik's high-quality music and movement experiences to the young families of San Luis Obispo and surrounding areas.
