for 3 and 4 year olds

Kindermusik Imagine That!™ fosters the development of your 3- and 4-year-old child's growing independence and vivid imagination through a unique blend of music, movement, literature and pretend play.

This newest curriculum released by Kindermusik International has been developed as a result of a direct shift in the educational research that has been conducted over the past 10 years - research that confirms that preschool-age children thrive on participatory, expressive learning.

Through activities such as singing, instrument play, creative dancing, listening, rhyming and storytelling, Imagine That! fosters a child's socialization, emotional growth, independence, problem solving, self-expression and begin to learn to take ownership of their learning. Specially designed home materials allow parents to extend class activities into the home.

Kindermusik Imagine That! classes are comprised of 15-week non-sequential semesters consisting of 45-minute lessons. Parents are invited to attend during the last 10-15 minutes of class for Sharing Time. Parent involvement and musical learning at home is further encouraged with Imagine That! At Home materials and activities including music CDs, a Family Activity Book, two illustrated literature books, a play set, and a specially designed instrument.

Classes will include:

• Lots of singing and sound imitation to help develop your child's voice and to foster language skills.
• Instrument exploration - discovering new sounds and ways to make music, including ensemble playing.
• Creative movement and dancing to develop balance, timing and awareness of space. Movement challenges focus on doing two movements at once.
• Creative pretend play.
• Fun activities that focus on attention and listening, expanding vocabulary and storytelling.
• Problem solving and selecting solutions.
• And most importantly, the Imagine That! class experience still focuses on encouraging your child's individuality and unique development while honoring his/her own pace of learning and participation.
• Sharing Time: Parents and siblings join for the last 15 minutes of every class. Typically we will dance, play musical games, explain the home assignments and share what we're learning while parents are in class.
