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. After all, there’s no better way to nurture your child’s development – and you’ll love doing it together – every day!
