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!
This light-hearted curriculum is centred around farm animals and activities. Many familiar folk songs are included, such as "Skip to My Lou", "Yankee Doodle" and "Old MacDonald".
Babies enjoy vocal play with "This Little Cow Eats Grass." Let baby know how special she is while singing a personal favourite, "You Are My Sunshine".
Begin the class with infant massage with "Hey Diddle, Diddle" and limb exercises to "Cock-a-Doodle-Doo!" Babies enjoy playing loud and quiet on the large gathering drum to "Yankee Doodle".
We enjoy playing specially designed instruments to "The Farmer in the Dell". You will love dancing to "Hop Up My Baby", "Wind in the Corn", "Shady Grove" and "Jolly Is the Miller". Bonding time is special during our quiet time for listening to "Simple Gifts".
The board book bears the name of this precious curriculum, "Cock-a-doodle-MOO!" You will personalize this book by inserting your baby's picture riding on the tractor! Learn about the latest research with babies with the Foundations of Learning Statements and home activities in baby's home journal. Home activities include why reading and singing to baby is so important, how intentional touch stimulates the regulation of healthy levels of a stress hormone in baby's brain and aids her digestion and circulation!
