Introducing: Laugh & Learn

For 3 through 4.5 year olds
Each week in class we combine your preschooler’s natural love of music, storytelling, and imaginative play with age-appropriate activities that introduce early music concepts and foster independence, social and emotional skills, language growth, and self-control. We also connect you with other parents who share in the wonder of parenting a preschooler. Parents join class for the final activities. The Kindermusik@Home digital home materials bring the music, activities, and each month’s story everywhere you go. The repetition enhances the learning—and the fun!

Our Fall semester will debut the following Laugh & Learn classes:

• Monday at 11:30a.m. in Allen
• Tuesday at 11:30a.m. in Allen
• Wednesday at 11:30a.m. in McKinney

Here is a sample activity featuring the new Digital Home Materials:

Introducing: Wiggle & Grow

In class, we’ll also share tips and ideas for using music throughout the week. Plus, the fun (and learning!) continue with the Kindermusik@Home digital home materials, including music from class, musical activities, and each month’s story.

Exciting New Changes to Curriculum!

We are very excited to announce some new changes to our curriculum! Beginning with our Fall semester, we will be introducing four new classes to our rotation at our McKinney and Allen locations: Cuddle & Bounce, Sing & Play, Wiggle & Grow and Laugh & Learn. Sing & Play will debut at Firewheel in Garland.

Why the change? What will this all mean for your child? The purpose of these changes is to advance the curriculum in a way that allows it to be more focused on smaller, specific age groups. For example, the Village curriculum spanned children aged newborn-18 month. As any mom will attest, babies change a lot during their first 18 months! A 2 month-old is working with different motor skills than an 18 month-old who is probably walking. Under the new curriculum, babies will be grouped together under Cuddle & Bounce, and toddlers 1-2 will attend Sing & Play.

You can count on the same quality curriculum that Kindermusik always delivers!   Each activity, poem, book, song, etc. is based on over 30 years of research and carefully selected with your child’s development in mind.

Each of these new curriculums are custom-tailored to provide the most education for your child's developmental stage. Over the next two weeks we will highlight the specifics of each new class. Check back often for the latest on Cuddle & Bounce, Sing & Play, Wiggle & Grow and Laugh & Learn. As always, you can email us any time with questions!
