Don't miss the next sessions of Kindermusik!
“Sing & Play” 4-Week Class for 1- and 2-year-olds
Get ready to sing, play and move with your little one in this high-energy music class designed to be just right for children under two years of age. This new Kindermusik curriculum focuses on your child's beginning movement, helping to build the muscles your baby needs to walk, and vocal development, helping to nurture your child’s speaking and singing voice. With a mix of both parent-child joint activities and child-focused activities, you’ll be able to join right in on all the singing and dancing while also getting the chance to observe how your older baby or toddler learns on her own.
May theme: Zoom!
Cars go, trains go, and toddlers are always on the go! Whether they’re taking their first cautious steps or zooming off to explore something new, one thing is for certain – toddlers always seem to be moving. In this unit, they will get to move like trains in a tunnel, bounce in a bumpy car ride, and soar on the wings of airplanes in activities designed to help them to get wherever it is they choose to go!
10 a.m.
Thursday, April 19, 26 and May 3, 10
“Laugh & Learn” 4-Week Class for 3- and 4-year-olds
Each week in class we combine your preschooler’s natural love of music, storytelling, and imaginative play with age-appropriate activities that introduce early music concepts and foster independence, social and emotional skills, language growth, and self-control.
May theme: In My Garden
In My Garden is dedicated to the great outdoors, growing plants, the green environment, and our many animal friends in the garden. The children do lots of different activities, from investigating a garden, to growing cabbages, to crawling around slowly like a snail and then jumping up quickly like a grasshopper. They take an imaginative walk around a garden to clean it up, while singing and picking up trash for the trashcan or recyclable items for the recycling bin.
11 a.m.
Thursday, April 19, 26 and May 3, 10
Tuition for each class is $75 and is due by Tuesday, April 10.
