Our Time encourages your child to discover an engaging musical world while building confidence, self-control,
and communication skills. Singing, imitating sounds, rhyming, and object identification foster language skills. Creative movement
to various musical 'moods' develops a sense of balance, timing, and spatial awareness. Exploration Time encourages a child's
discovery of specially designed instruments, textures, sounds and movements; language skills are fostered with singing, sound
imitation, and vocal play; Music & Movement Story Time encourages emergent literacy skills; and creative dancing affirms a
child's urge to move.

This unit is all about movement (wiggles!) and fun, funny words and sounds, and emotion (giggles!). The songs are about humor,
laughter, silly sounds and words, and movement. Everyday activities like bath time are highlighted in the delightful book
"Pete and PJ." "Watch Me!" is a movement literature book featuring lots of animal movement. Zig-Zag blocks are the featured
instrument.
Toddlers love to GO! With toddlers' desire to go comes an attraction to other things that go - people, animals, pull toys,
tricycles, cars, planes, and the list goes on. "What are things that go?" "How do they go?" "How do they sound when they
go?" "Can I go like that?" "Can I make sounds like that?" Guided by these simple questions we will journey through developmentally
appropriate activities relating to trains, cars, buses, horses, wagons, airplanes, and boats. The two literature books are
"Shiny Dinah" and "Giddy-Up!" The featured instrument are two harmonicas, one for the adult and one for the child, complete
with printed instructions in the “Activity Book.”
This unit empowers the parent to lead the child through familiar, everyday home activities such as cooking, dusting and washing
clothes. In addition, baking cookies, eating cupcakes, blowing on hot cross buns, wiggling like jelly, going grocery shopping
and making tea are all represented in familiar songs and activities. The two literature books are "At My House" and "Cookies!"
A stir xylophone is the featured instrument.
This unit takes its name from the beloved folk song about the fly who married the bumblebee and the theme of "fiddling around"
is present all throughout the semester. Creatures from the animal kingdom, whether furry, web-footed, winged or whiskered
are explored in this unit. The two literature books are "Piggy Played the Fiddle" and "Animal Serenade." Fiddlesticks are
a one-of-a-kind Kindermusik instrument that can be rattled, rolled, tapped and fiddled with to create fun sounds and play
possibilities.
