A 5 week Kindermusik program where it's one on one with the parents (if more than one child then another adult can come with sibling). The parents will learn parenting skills and the children will learn social skills, and develop through the art of music. The ages are newborn to 7. Classes will be tailored to what we have enrolled.
I am looking at gearing this towards families that are in the "supervised visit" phase or even unsupervised with the goal of reunification. An hour where parents can bond with their children in a fun enviroment while learning the actual skills to spend quality time with their chi ld ren.
This will be a FREE class. The Kindermusik owner received a grant to pay for this.
Someone from the Dept will be in the class with Lisa Cheney to oversee those who are supervised. (I will have at least interns there that can supervise and document for you).
Please let me know if this interests you and the age of the child you are thinking of.
If this looks like a go, I will collect a little more info for registration.
Here is a little more info:
Kindermusik Family Time
Newborns to 7 years
New! Kindermusik Family Time
Music class for families with multiple children ages newborn and up
In ten weeks, you'll play instruments together, dance together, share, and take turns, and see how music can bring you closer as a family.
A one-room schoolhouse approach to music. With older children ready to show the little ones how it's done and the younger ones eager to learn, Family Time becomes a multi-layered learning environment. Each week, a Kindermusik Educator will introduce basic musical concepts and then give you the instruments, and the structured free time to put those concepts into play.
Your children will listen to instruments and to each other, learn from their peers and older children, and enjoy music and movement with hoops, scarves and tumble-around play. Story time and family jams, puppet play and happy singing?all the Family Time activities encourage discovery and exploration and foster sharing and social skills too. In this special place for musical, social and emotional learning, your children will strengthen their ties with each other and with you?and they'll start developing the skills they'll need in school and on the neighborhood playground
