Kindermusik Classes-Winter/Spring 2019
Kindermusik Village (ages newborn-18 months) is a place where life’s merry-go-round slows down to let you and your child share in the magical moments that happen through music, movement, touch and sounds. Through a variety of engaging activities in which you interact with your child at his/her own developmental level, you will be given a peek inside your child’s miraculous little body and brain. These moments of discovery will help you to understand how with every tune and rhyme, with every tickle and whisper, with every song and peek-a-boo, you help unfold your baby’s natural gifts. Curriculums for the Winter/spring 2019 semester will be “Rhythm of My Day and Hickory Dickory tickle and Bounce".
