Imagine your child swinging softly in a blanket or dancing with you around a maypole. Village provides a delightful environment unlike any other. Through a unique blend of multi-level activities that includes creative movement, vocal play, object and instrument exploration, and a colorful literature component, your baby's growth and development are stimulated and all of his senses engaged.
At this stage of development, your child is progressing through a receptive mode of learning. I am sure you have wondered what your baby is thinking as her eyes open wide and she stares and smiles. Well, while we can't know her thoughts for certain, during these moments of alert attention she probably is thinking that she is enjoying the stimulation of the experience. During a musical rocking or bouncing activity, for example, she feels the pleasure of movement that is beneficial to her—helping her develop her sense of internal balance.

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!
