Music*
*Availability based on location
Our music program is a process-oriented, age-appropriate, sequenced approach to teaching music. It is founded on developmental and music therapy research and aims to give children an opportunity to work on important social and communication skills as well as develop musical capabilities such as singing on pitch and moving in rhythm.
Songs, instruments and props are presented in a developmentally appropriate way and the children are encouraged to explore and experiment without the pressure of performing to a certain standard. The program provides a wide variety of musical styles and rhythms, instruments and songs from an array of cultures as well as familiar, popular songs to provide a strong basis for a continuing love of music.
Yoga & Movement
Our Yoga & Movement program was specially designed to fit into our preschool curriculum. Starting yoga at a young age helps children bridge the important connection between physical and mental health that will aid as integral stepping stones to better manage stress, practice conscious breathing techniques, and develop a full physical range of motion later into their childhood years and even adulthood.
By implementing this program for 15-20 minutes once per week with engaging themes and music, children will gain confidence in expressive movement, critical concentration skills, and will develop their own sense of well-being. Increasing flexibility, core strength and balance are all incredible additional benefits to this practice.
