GENERAL PROGRAM INFO:

How does the mixed-age format work in class?

Early childhood educators are now recommending mixed-age groupings as a better learning environment. Older children learn from being in a leadership role, and younger children benefit from the example of an older child. The classes have more of a family feel rather than a school orientation. Siblings can participate together, as well as moms, dads, grandparents, and caregivers. (No need to get a babysitter!)  The activities are parent-child oriented, not child-child, so children don't need to be with children of the same age.

Do infants really benefit?

Yes! Infants' participation will seem passive at first, as they actively absorb what they are seeing, hearing, and feeling. Caregivers will learn to recognize their infants' musical responses and observe them reaching musical milestones. As their bodies and nervous systems mature, the infants often show progressively more complex musical responses and evidence of song recognition. Parents will learn in class how to enhance their child's music development and how to create or enhance the musical bond with their child.
