crayons


"We could learn a lot from crayons: some are sharp; some are pretty; some are dull; some have wierd names; and all are different colors. But they all exist very nicely in the same box."

new fall classes

Sign & Sing and Family Time
new fall classes have just been added to the schedule...

Have you considered Sign & Sing with Kindermusik? You will be giving your child the tools to communicate with you at an early age.
Our fall session of Sign & Sing begins Thursday Oct 19 at 10:15 am.
Won't you join us?
Learn when you play. You'll never have to memorize a list of signs. This curriculum gives you the ASL signs that are most useful to you, and most interesting to your child. So playtime and everyday items around the house-- ball, bubbles, mom and dad--become the objects of learning in the classroom, and sign language becomes a natural, happy part of your child's day.
Hearing children who know signs, learn language almost twice as fast. As early as 11-14 months old, hearing children exposed to sign language put little sentences together faster than non-signing children, who do not begin to combine words into short sentences, such as "Da-da car" until the average age of 20 months.Study conducted by Dr. Michelle Anthony and Dr. Reyna Lindert, Signing Smart program founders. I look forward to hearing from you and telling you more about Sign & Sing! Want to see real pictures of real children signing?

We're in the business of changing the world one child at a time.
Kindermusik International is the world's leading publisher of music and movement curricula for parents and their children, ages newborn to 7 years old.



Kindermusik’s philosophy is founded upon rigorous research and our fundamental beliefs.

Every parent is the child’s most important teacher.

Every child is musical.

The home is the most important learning environment.

Music nurtures a child’s cognitive, emotional, social, language, and physical development.

As a Kindermusik educator...

I believe that music has the power to illuminate and enhance lives, to foster a sense of community and to tap the unique gifts that each child offers to the world.

I believe that every child deserves the opportunity to know, enjoy and grow with music.

I recognize that music for children is not about perfection but about possibilities.
