A compliment from an Occupational Therapist

Stephanie Spurr Scaramuzzo We had a great time at our first class. As an OT (occupational therapist) in the schools I love the flow of the classes and how it does a high movement quick tempo song, followed by a low slow quiet song. This is excellent to maintain a perfect level of alertness and attention for the kids for optimal learning. This OT gives it two thumbs up!

How fantastic is this? She has two children in two different programs. Our Time (toddler) and Imagine That (Pre-K through K) An unsolicited two thumbs up!

Snow delays the start of Kindermusik semester leaves more time to play with Kindermusik Radio!


It's snowing! (again..........) Since the first class of the semester is so important, and some of us have older siblings who have a school delay........we won't be holding classes this morning. I know, I'm disappointed too, but I don't want anyone rushing to try and get to class on time. We will start the semester next week. Just think, more time to get excited and spread the news. What news you say? Kindermusik Radio news, that's what!

Kindermusik Radio – published by Night and Day Studios (the makers of Peekaboo Barn)

Dance, march, skip, and stretch. Swing your partner and then rock to a lullaby. Smile and laugh. Just like a mini Kindermusik class, the Kindermusik Radio app provides parents with a way to engage and interact with their children—at home, on the go, anywhere.

With 5 stations to choose from, the Kindermusik Radio app will give you access to over 100 of the very finest and authentic reproductions of classic children’s songs, nursery rhymes, and stories, as well as Kindermusik originals. Each song includes lyrics and a corresponding activity designed to stimulate early childhood development. The activities, developed by trained and licensed Kindermusik educators, are based on principles defined by the National Association for the Education of Young Children (NAEYC). With over 30 years of experience, and inspired by the seminal work of early childhood development experts such as Piaget, Montessori, and Greenspan, Kindermusik is the recognized leader in early childhood music and movement curricula and products.

Research shows that music helps children become better learners. Toddlers dance, swing, and sing as they develop their motor and listening skills. Preschoolers jump, skip, rhyme, invent, and sing to the beat as they strengthen pre-reading and pre-math skills. Music soothes the soul, inspires the imagination, and trains the brain. What more is there?
