Specialties
Offering a FUN, developmental "movement through music" program for children ages newborns through five years. Children learn concepts useful in everyday life. We explore sounds as we play bells, rhythm sticks, sand blocks, drums and various props such as balls, hoops, and dancing with scarves. Kindermusik helps a child develop skills in socialization musical ability, emotional, cognitive thinking, physical, and language. The classes are divided into separate age groups of newborns to 18 months, 1 1/2 to 3 yrs, 3-5 yrs, and also a multi-aged group of infants through 5 yrs. Some classes are offered in the morning, while others are held after 6:00 p.m. We meet once a week for approximately 45 minutes each class. Each child receives a CD of the songs we do in class, digital materials with activities to do at home if you wish, photos emailed to you twice during the semester with your child in action, and a diploma at the end of each semester. The Fall and Spring semesters are approximately 15-16 weeks long and the summer session is approximately 4 weeks, depending on the curriculum.
