Can you sound like an elephant? Or hop like a bunny? Our Time encourages your child to uncover an engaging musical world while building confidence, self-control and communications 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. Listening and turn-taking encourage blossoming social skills.
Kindermusik Our Time is designed for children 1½ years to 3 years of age. Along with an accompanying parent or caregiver, children meet weekly for a 45-minute class and enjoy singing, moving, listening and interacting socially, and playing simple instruments. 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.

OUR TIME - SPRING 2008
Away We Go!
Hop on the train, get in the car, board the plane, and Away We Go! This delightful, 15-lesson
unit focuses on transportation, a favorite topic for toddlers who are on the go, go, go! Sing
and play along with favorite songs, such as “I’ve Been Workin’ on the Railroad” and “Wheels
on the Bus”. Explore fast and slow, smooth and bumpy, and high and low. Read stories
about ways to get around. Shiny Dinah tells the story of a train, and Giddy-Up! has a horse,
speedboat, racecar, and more to help you get where you want to go. Move, play, and sing
together in developmentally appropriate activities created just for 1 1/2 to 3-year-olds.
Families will receive 2 CDs, a Home Activity Book, 2 storybooks (Shiny Dinah and Giddy-
Up!), 2 harmonicas, and a train carrying box.
Enjoy the Journey All Week Long
Kindermusik is much more than a weekly class. And your At Home
materials you receive from your educator are just the tools you need
to continue that one-of-a-kind experience together as a family. While
we plant the seeds of learning through music in the classroom, you
will use the At Home materials at home to cultivate lifelong learning.
Family involvement in your child's learning is a fundamental
cornerstone of the Kindermusik philosophy because we believe the
parent is the child’s most important teacher and the home is the
most important place for a child’s learning to take root and grow. After
all, there’s no better way to nurture your child’s development – and
you’ll love doing it together – every day!
