We had so much fun with Miss Lori! My son loves to dance and move to the music and he really enjoyed being introduced to all the different instruments. I am a musician and even I learned quite a bit from watching Miss Lori. She is a wonderful! ~ Heather C.

Class Length: 14 lessons, 40 minutes, once per week
Notes: Students are to be accompanied by parent or special caregiver who is actively involved for the entire class. Due to the 1-1 attention necessary, space considerations and unique class settings, caregivers and children enjoy their Kindermusik Our Time experience more fully when the caregiver is able to give complete attention to the enrolled child. If you find the occasion (no sitter or the like) to bring an older sibling who is happy for you to give 1-1 attention to the younger sibling for the ENTIRE class, that can be accommodate on a case-by-case basis. If you MUST bring a sibling each week, please bring this to my attention. Younger siblings in car seats are just fine. Once a child is not content to remain in a car seat, other arrangements need to be made.
Minimum of four enrolled to 'make' a class. Limited to 10 or 11 children in Webster, 8 or 9 in UCity.
Wiggles & Giggles (odd fall)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.Away We Go! (even spring)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.”Milk & Cookies (even fall)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.
Fiddle-dee-dee (odd spring)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.
For busy parents trying to bond with even busier tots, you'll cherish Our Time to sing, listen, play instruments and explore creative movement -- together!

Consistency is needed in times of change...
Are you concerned that keeping Kindermusik in his/her schedule will overload him/her? Actually, the opposite is true. With all the changes in his/her life, keeping him/her in Kindermusik provides the consistency required to make the transition easier. With life getting busier, and your child's activities more independent in nature, Kindermusik is one place the two of you can spend time focused on each other.
Class sizes are limited & fill quickly!
