Kindermusik Village is a curriculum designed to meet the developmental needs of babies from birth to 1.5 years. Much has been said about the benefits of exposing even our tiniest children to rhythmic and musical activities, and Kindermusik has accepted the challenge of providing an environment for this exposure. During 45 minute sessions with a parent or caregiver, Baby is given the opportunity to explore sight and sound in a multitude of activities. The lessons are developmentally appropriate for lap babies, crawlers and early walkers. A diverse group in age and ability level is ideal for creating a rich and stimulating environment for Baby to experience. Since it is commonly known that children love to study each other and to learn from each other, our Village classes are designed to make that happen. Each lesson includes a gathering time for the parents and their babies, activities that encourage lots of touching and embracing, a wide range of movement activities such as rocking, bouncing, flying and swooping, and a special emphasis on vocal development. Age appropriate books and rhythm instruments are used for visual and auditory development. Beginning Baby Sign language is also introduced. Each semester there are usually two 8 week themes for Village classes. For more information, visit www.kindermusik.com
