Bound away and back…
Just as the young kangaroo bounds away then back to the security of the pouch, the toddlers is eager to explore alone then rushes back to the parent for reassurance. While the desire to investigate urges the toddler forward, the need for the adult’s security is at the core of the child’s enormous potential to learn. Kindermusik Our Time recognizes her need for both the freedom to try and the assurance of your support.
It’s Our Time…
Kindermusik Our Time is a music and movement program for children ages 1.5 to 3 with a parent or caregiver. Our Time focuses on your child’s emotional development as her confidence, curiosity, self-control, and communication begin to take shape.
Music and Movement…
Exploring nurtures her self-esteem and facilitates her discovery of textures and sounds, Language skills are fostered with singing, sound imitation, whyming and object identification. Creative dancing to different musical “moods” develops her sense of balance, timing and spatial awareness while affirming her urge to move. The anticipation and rewards of listening are introduced, and with turn-taking activities, social skills begin to blossom. Essentially, Our Time provides the safety of training wheels for the bicycle of pre-school!
Come Together…
For four semesters of 15 weeks each, Kindermusik Our Time brings together 12 children, each with a parent or caregiver, for weekly 45 minute classes of singing, chanting, listening, moving, dancing, and simple instrument playing. You take home specially designed Kidnermusik Our Time At Home materials to extend the Kindermusik experience all week long. Kindermusik At Home materials include two CDs, two Music and Movement books, a Home Activity Book, and a specially designed instrument, all to encourage self-directed play and the experimentation introduced in pre-school.
