Foundations


Newborns to 1 year


WELCOME TO KINDERMUSIK FOUNDATIONS!

 

Did you know sound recognition begins in the womb? Foundations classes are all about exploring and reacting to new sounds, objects, and movements. Plus, parents and caregivers heighten connections with their babies by learning bonding techniques.

 

What should a baby’s first music class offer?

It is so much more than lullabies and swaying. Educators will also teach families how sound exploration, listening activities, and dances help babies communicate, stimulate eye-tracking skills, and learn to move and coordinate new muscles.

 

What to expect...

*Listening - Sing it again...babies will experience a variety of songs and rhymes in different ways. Bonus: a parent's singing voice is their favorite!

*Vocal Plays - Your turn! Babies will participate in back-and-forth vocal plays and other parent-child interactions, helping them with early language development.

*Object Exploration - From scarves to shakers, little ones will use all of their senses to explore a variety of safe, engaging props and instruments.

*Bonding Exercises - The best part...parents and caregivers learn bonding techniques through intentional touch, baby exercise, and relaxation activities.

What you'll learn...

*Movement Control - Different movement activities help babies strengthen their core muscles, which increases their sense of balance and control over movements.
*Social Adaptability - Group activities allow babies to experience familiar and unfamiliar social experiences in a safe and secure way.
*Listening and Communication Skills - Listening to music and doing vocal play exercises helps develop a baby’s back-and-forth communication skills.

*Language and Literacy Development - Introducing spoken sounds and rhythms through songs and rhymes helps support language and literacy development.

 

*Self-Regulation - Associating music with tricky transitions like nap time helps establish calm and encourages self-soothing.



SUMMER 2025

Age Range: birth to 12 months

Class Structure: 45 minutes each week

Information: Our summer session is designed so that you can take June or July, but many of our families take both because there is no repeated material.

Miss a class? No worries, we have you covered! We offer unlimited makeups ALL summer! Schedule them easily on our website by clicking on "enrolled families" at the top of the homepage then "makeup a class".


Cost per monthly session: $5 registration fee plus $10 deposit for each family paid at registration; your remaining balance is due at the first class ($62). If you decide to take both months, the registration fee is only due once. Your monthly fee includes 4 classes, one class per week for 45 minutes plus digital music and a book or prop that matches our theme for the month. 

 

Summer Themes

 June Session Weeks
June 9, 16, 23, 30

Bumpity-bump, zippity-zoom, babies are on the go! This unit is packed with move-move-movement, as spatial development takes focus. Activities that explore distance, speed, placement, reaching, dancing, rocking, bouncing, and wheels-on-the-bus-ing all get baby zoom-zoom-zooming to big smiles in Zoom Baby!

 

July Session Weeks
July 7, July 14, July 21, July 28

Good morning, sunshine, it is time to start the day! Babies can start their days in all kinds of ways, but the way to make the most of mornings is to establish a loving predictable, day-to-day routine. Up and at 'em routines and rituals take center-stage in Rise & Shine!

Fall Themes

Little Red Caboose (September): All aboard! Little Red Caboose is all about—you guessed it—trains, trains, trains! Hitch on up for a chuggity-chug voyage through train sounds, train movements, train activities, and train songs. Woo-woo!

Old MacDonald (October): Time to tune up baby’s listening ears, because we’re off to the farm! With a hee-haw here and a cock-a-doodle there–when Old MacDonald gets involved, you never know whom you might run into.

Nighty Night (November): It’s nighttime, but not quite bedtime yet! Let’s use our vision to explore the night. We’ll see the moon and the twinkling stars, and say hello to Wee Willie Winkie and the man in the moon! Finally, it’s time to get ready for beddy-bye—with bathtime, a little playtime, and then it’s time to say Nighty Night!

 

 

**Due to the nature of our program, when you register your child for our fall session, you are responsible for the full amount for the 12 week session even if you withdraw any time after the first class of the session. We will make every effort to help you with makeups or changing classes.

 

We do not admit drop-ins or monthly registrations. It is important in our program to be present for the full 12 weeks to help your child with all the developmental concepts taught in our classes. Routine is paramount for children.

 

We offer unlimited makeups for all of our classes. However, we will work with you if there are any unusual circumstances out of your control. We love our families and want all our children to be able to attend every single class.
