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?

What class should my child join in Kindermusik?

A great question............I always go by development rather than age in our Kindermusik........well in ANY of our programs at Keys & Strings. Children with a strong sense of independence and mobility but are under age 3 will probably be best in our Toddler program (Wiggles and Giggles) with a parent or caregiver.

If you are looking into nursery or preschool for your child (around age 3) and they are potty trained, then let's talk about our Preschool programs. Is your child in the 2nd year of nursery/preschool? We can continue with the Preschool programs or move forward into Young Child levels. Every child is different, every student learns differently. Give me a call at 203.265.1500 to discuss all of your childs options.......
