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.

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.
