It takes a village to raise a child, and teachers and families gather together each week at the Kindermusik with Kathy studios to sing, dance, socialize and share in the joy and love or raising your baby. It's a place where friends, music, movement, touch and sounds help provide a foundation for your child's total development and future learning.

A Bonding Experience. The Kindermusik with Kathy Village class provides a delightful environment unlike any other. Through a unique blend of multi-level activities that include creative movement, vocal play, object and instrument exploration, and a colorful literature component, baby’s growth and development are stimulated and all senses engaged. Village is for lap babies, crawlers, and walkers. It incorporates the most current research on early childhood development and provides families a special place for learning and connecting with other parents and babies through music and movement.

We'll provide you with more tools and ideas in class to continue the enrichment at home through bonding with your baby by reading the Baby's literature book or listening the CD included in the At Home Materials. Click here for Village Unit Descriptions

What A Parent And Child Will Experience In Class
*Variety of Music. Musical diversity builds strong neural networks in a baby’s forming mind, which is why each semester contains an array of styles, sounds, and genres.

*Singing and Vocal Play. From our rich heritage and multi-cultural history, learn over 30 songs, lullabies, and nursery rhymes and play over 200 activities together by the semester’s end

*Instrument Play. Age-appropriate experiences with child-safe instruments enhance a sense of rhythm and steady beat, develops a keen awareness of the distinguishing qualities of sound, and encourages spontaneity and creativity.

*Creative and Social Dance. A classroom full of baby and adult pairs dancing together helps a little body develop the muscle strength needed to crawl and walk and helps a little heart to fall in love with the sheer joy of responding to music.

*Together Time. A Kindermusik class is truly the essence of “quality time,” offering the parent a place to create special memories with their child, gain new insights into their child’s development, and nurture their child’s natural love of music.

*Expert Advice. A Kindermusik Educator explains “what-to-watch-for” every step of the way and how each activity enhances a child’s complete development.

*Learning Continues at Home. With the home materials, the learning continues at home with the child’s best teacher—the parent!

*Enrollment Also Includes: Two sets of At Home Materials—one for each mini-theme—each including a CD of music from class, literature board book, age-appropriate instrument, and a set of art banners.
