IMAGINE THAT! (preschool age child)

This 45 minute class for your preschool age child (3-4 year old) is designed to give them some time in a class without a parent (30 minutes) and then to have their parent or caregiver (and any younger siblings) join in on the Family Sharing Time for the last 10-15 minutes of class. For those parents who aren’t quite ready to send their child to preschool 2 or 3 days a week, this would be the perfect introduction to a preschool-like setting.

See What I Saw — In this class, preschoolers use their real experience of

playing in the park to create imaginative, storytelling scenarios with music—go on an imaginary trip to Grasshopper Park where they sail down the park slide and then recreate the sound of that experience with a loooong vocal glissando. Each week provides preschoolers one uninterrupted session of imaginative play that’s guided in a very specific, sequential way—with a special sharing time with parents in the last 15 minutes of class

Home Materials: Two books—Can You Find Me? and The Ant Picnic Feast, Two Home CDs, See What I Saw Play Set, a Family Activity Book, a slide whistle instrument, a slide whistle and lumi sticks instruments, and a backpack.

Tuition and materials for 13 week class: $183

Payment plan: $55 due at registration and $35 due each month (Oct–Jan,.) when set up with an automatic deduction debit/credit card

Classes are in full swing! 8 classes in 3 locations! More than I ever dreamed possible! Two classes will be starting up this week: a baby class in Ocala and a family class in Crystal River. Here are some pictures to show what we’ve been up to!

Havin’ fun!

agabb — Fri, 17 Sep 2010 20:20:33 +0000

Beverly Hills classes of Milk and Cookies are already done with 4 classes! We’ve had so much fun and learned so many fun songs. We’ve played with egg shakers, rhythm sticks, one bell jingles, and today we even “scrub scrub scrubbed” the room with sponges and cloths. I think your kids are ready for some real cleaning at home, moms!

Click to view slideshow.

Classes began this week in Ocala and Crystal River too! Plenty of spaces in all those classes too and it’s not too late to join in there!

Why do we try to incorporate circle songs into most toddler age classes? Not only are they fun, but they help your child experience movement as an ensemble while also creating a sense of community. Many times, at the beginning of the semester, the children will be hesitant to hold hands with other friends or parents. But by the end of the semester, they might be more willing to participate. Circle songs also nurture the growth of steady beat.

Movement is your child’s full-time occupation!

agabb — Sat, 11 Sep 2010 03:39:31 +0000

Does that surprise you? It shouldn’t! William Stinson, Ed. said in his book “Moving and Learning for the Young Child”: ”Movement is a universal, full-time, personal, childhood occupation, and its importance in children’s early learning experiences cannot be overemphasized…Children develop movement in space to understand position, size, distance, and shape. Continuous activity (like we do in Kindermusik class!) is essential for an optimal rather than a marginal level of motor performance.” So, celebrate your child’s movement and use the opportunity to move right along with them! :-)
