To evaluate the effectiveness of the Kindermusik curriculum, SEG Measurement conducted a national,multi-site study following 299 preschool children during the 2012 – 13 school year.
Kindermusik is an early childhood curriculum that uses music and movement to engage young children while teaching a variety of skills critical to later school success.
Extensive at-home materials, provided to parents monthly with each new curriculum unit, inform families of their children’s classroom experiences and provide the means for continuing classroom learning at home.
The findings indicate that students in classes using the Kindermusik program made significantly greater gains in language and literacy skills as compared to students in classes that did not use any of the Kindermusik at home material components.
