Can
you sound like an elephant? Or hop like a bunny? Our Time encourages your
child to uncover an engaging musical world while building confidence,
self-control and communications skills. Singing, imitating sounds, rhyming and
object identification foster language skills. Creative movement to various
musical “moods” develops a sense of balance, timing and spatial awareness.
Listening and turn-taking encourage blossoming social skills.
Kindermusik Our Time is designed for children 1½ years to 3 years of age. Along with an accompanying parent or caregiver, children meet weekly for a 45-minute class and enjoy singing, moving, listening and interacting socially, and playing simple instruments. Exploration Time encourages a child's discovery of specially designed instruments, textures, sounds and movements; language skills are fostered with singing, sound imitation, and vocal play; Music & Movement Story Time encourages emergent literacy skills; and creative dancing affirms a child's urge to move.

Enjoy
the Journey All Week Long
Kindermusik is much more than a weekly class. And your At Home
materials you receive from your educator are just the tools you need to
continue that one-of-a-kind experience together as a family. While we plant the
seeds of learning through music in the classroom, you will use the At Home
materials at home to cultivate lifelong learning.
Family involvement in your child's learning is a fundamental cornerstone of the Kindermusik philosophy because we believe the parent is the child’s most important teacher and the home is the most important place for a child’s learning to take root and grow. Afterall, there’s no better way to nurture your child’s development – and you’ll love doing it together – every day!
