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!
Away We Go!
Hop on the train, get in the car, board
the plane, and Away We Go! This delightful, 15-lesson unit focuses on
transportation, a favorite topic for toddlers who are on the go, go, go! Sing
and play along with favorite songs, such as “I’ve Been Workin’ on the Railroad”
and “Wheels on the Bus”. Explore fast and slow, smooth and bumpy, and high and
low. Read stories about ways to get around. Shiny Dinah tells the story
of a train, and Giddy-Up! has a horse, speedboat, racecar, and more to
help you get where you want to go. Move, play, and sing together in
developmentally appropriate activities created just for 1 1/2 to 3-year-olds.
Families will receive 2 CDs, a Home Activity Book, 2 storybooks (Shiny Dinah
and Giddy-Up!), 2 harmonicas, and a train carrying box.
