Multi-Age, Multi-Fun & Multi-Musical

Ages Newborn to 18 months

Kindermusik Village is for lap babies, crawlers and walkers accompanied by a parent or caregiver.  Village provides the natural learning your child is ready for from the first days of life. With you at the center of your baby’s discovery, Village engages all of his/her senses and rewards his/her curiosity with object and instrument exploration, vocal play, singing, creative movement, and a colorful literature component. Multi-level activities encourage you to make creative choices as he/she grows from a lap baby to a crawler to a walker.

One of my daughter's most memorable moments from Kindermusik is the look on her face every time Luanne plays the slide whistle (teaches the concepts of up and down, high and low) during Hickory Dickory Dock.  She is in awe over the instrument Luanne plays.  Also, she loves the scarf play.  She can't stop smiling about them.  Shannon (14 month old daughter)

Babies In This Age Group are Changing More Rapidly than at any other time in their Development

Therefore, each activity presents features and choices for lap babies, crawling babies, and walking babies, each participating at his/her own level.  The Lap baby may be crawling, and the crawling baby may be walking by the end of the course.  Diversity is expected and welcomed.  There is never the need to ask:  "Am I doing it right?"  Kindermusik Village teaches "your baby's way is the right way."  Watch and take note.  Then enjoy exchanging ideas and observations with other parents. 

This has been a great class and a wonderful way to expose your child to other types of music.  Interaction with other people has been terrific.  She sings "La, La, La, La."  I think it has helped her to listen to the songs and enjoy them more.  Joanne (11 month old daughter)

Parent Education

 

Emotional development is dependent upon the care received at an early age.  The child who receives love, attention and the encouragement to explore and learn is most likely to have a more highly developed amygdala, the part of the brain that allows a person to calm themselves.  The parts of the brain that control emotion are very much affected by the amount of handling, love and care we receive as young children.--Magic Trees of the Mind, by Marian Diamond, Ph.D. and Janet Hopson, pp. 125-127.

This is just one of the many developmental concepts that you will be exposed to in the Village experience.  You will be amazed as you play with and observe your little one grow and learn throughout your classroom and home experience as you utilize the At Home Materials. These include specially commissioned artwork to attract the attention of the developing eyes of our babies and uses bright, bold, contrasting images and colors.  The CD's and literature books will be treasured for years to come.

Kindermusik Village blends the intuitive knowledge of artists and the science of neurophsychologists to create a delightful experience for baby and adult.  The licensed Kindermusik educator brings the curriculum to life and into the lives of families in villages all over the world.
