Curriculums for this semester will be “Zoom Buggy and Dream Pillow”. (45 minute class- parents attend the entire class) Only siblings under the age of 6 months may attend. Materials: 2 sets-Digital Music, books (Zoom Buggy and Dream Pillow ) and instrument in each set.

Kindermusik Imagine That (ages 3-5 years old) Imagine That allows us to capture the child’s attention, nurture the budding creativity and individuality, and enhance the overall learning process. This is accomplished through a remarkable blend of music, singing, movement, literature and imagination. This curriculum has been created to take Imagine That a giant step beyond other pre-school music programs. In addition, storytelling is incorporated to encourage literacy skills. Listening skills will be developed far beyond simply listening to an isolated sound. We will discover many things about the musical weather as “Hello Weather, Let’s Play Together” will be the curriculum for the fall session. (45 minute class-parents attend the last 15 minutes-siblings may also attend with parents) Materials include: Digital Music, 2 Books: Michael Finnigan and Hurry Home Little Kittens, Ankle Bells, Rain Shaker, parent guide, and backpack.
