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.

Winter/Spring Themes
Mama Goose - Nursery rhymes endure for a reason. They are quirky,
rhymey, and memorable–and are also magical for speech and language development,
as they work to “wire” the brain for communication before speech even begins!
What bliss to share something with your child that your parents shared with
you–or better yet, to learn and share one for the very first time!
Peekaboo - A house with a baby is a house full of love. (And
fun…and toys…and noise!) Peekaboo! peeks into the “1, 2, 3, punch” patterns of
repetition, anticipation, and surprise. Have fun with vocal play, sensory
exploration, and learning through play.
Bluebird, Bluebird - Chirp! Tweet! Quack! This unit is a
sound-rich flight (of fancy) into the sky, where you’ll explore birds,
feathers, and the outdoors.
