minutes of class
His blanket becomes a superhero's cape. A cardboard box doubles as her princess castle.
Pots and pans become a drum set. And she sings all the time. Sound like someone you know? Every day brings
a new discovery for the preschooler-slowly opening the doors of individuality and independence. Using the power of music,
Kindermusik's Imagine That! taps into the preschooler's creative spirit and
boundless energy and focuses on developing learning strengths and self-confidence so he'll be ready for school, prepared for
future music lessons...or able to leap tall buildings.
What a Parent and Child Will Experience in Class:
- Pretend Play -- Pretend play activities are integrated with music, vocal development, storytelling,
listening, movement, and literacy aspects of each class. When based upon a child's real life experiences, pretend play helps
develop language, sensory, motor, and cognitive skills.
- Musical Variety and Singing -- Activities
include a mixture of musical genres and styles and provide a setting for children to explore their many voices and to use
a "singing voice." Singing helps with memory and recall, physical development, creativity, and socialization.
- Storytelling
and Literacy -- Each class is built on the development of a story, so you'll hear preschoolers search for the word
to say what they mean and try to keep up with their busy minds, emerging wants, needs, likes, and dislikes.
- Parent
Involvement -- Preschoolers are learning to be self-sufficient in a group setting of peers, while many times still
needing the emotional security provided by a parent. The preschooler experiences both in Imagine That! Caregivers
participate in the last 10-15 minutes of class. Plus the At Home Materials ensures the learning continues at home with each
child's best teacher-the parent!

Fall 2011, we are offering: See
What I Saw -- In this class, preschoolers use their real experience of playing in the
park to create imaginative, storytelling scenarios with music-go on an imaginary trip to Grasshopper Park where they sail
down the park slide and then recreate the sound of that experience with a loooong vocal glissando. Each
week provides preschoolers one uninterrupted session of imaginative play that's guided in a very specific, sequential way-with
a special sharing time with parents in the last 15 minutes of class

You Find Me? and The Ant Picnic Feast, Two Home CDs, See What I Saw Play Set, a Family Activity Book,
