Fall Themes Ages 2-4
Classes are 30 min for 2-4 year-olds
September –Carnival of Music
This month’s story features Barley Bear and his day-long quest to find a piece of shoo-fly pie at the fair. In class we’ll read about Barley and talk about his willingness to wait and be patient in the middle of the fun fair distractions. At home, your Home Kit includes more activities to help your child feel comfortable in group-play and group-learning situations.
Home Kit: Egg shaker, Home CD, and magazine-style Family Guide (includes the class story Shoofly Pie)
October – Animals A-Dancing
Dancing, hopping, rolling, and stomping. This month we’ll move like all of our animal friends and develop muscle coordination and spatial awareness along the way. Your Home Kit features songs for wiggling and helps toddlers develop dexterity and fine-motor skills. Your magazine-style Family Guide also includes at-home activity ideas, games, and questions that involve the class story, so your child develops memory and comprehension—all in the context of sharing time with you.
Home Kit: Home CD and magazine-style Family Guide (includes the class story Frog Went a-Dancing)
November – Around the Farm
In class, your child’s memory and sequence skills will strengthen with stop-and-go games tucked into stories and pretend play about animals on a farm. You’ll find these stories and songs in your Home Kit, too. So when you play this month’s featured rhythm stick instruments along with the recordings, you help your child develop rhythm, coordination, and the confidence that comes with learning and playing along with you.
Home Kit: Pair of Rhythm Sticks, Home CD, and magazine-style Family Guide (includes the class story Cows in the Kitchen)
Fall Themes for Ages 4-6
Classes are 45 minutes for 4-6 year olds
September – Jumping Beans
In class, your child’s memory and sequence skills will strengthen with stop-and-go activities—all set to the music of Latin America. Tucked into stories and pretend play activities, stop-and-go games help your preschooler control body motions and follow directions on the go. Share the stories and activities in your Home Kit and you’ll strengthen self-discipline skills at home, too.
Home Kit: One pan flute instrument, Home CD, and magazine-style Family Guide (includes the class story A Quieter Instrument)
October – Join the Parade
You can watch this month’s theme in your own home town with the season’s upcoming holiday parades. In class, we’ll listen to marching music, play pretend parades, and help your preschooler develop rhythm and coordination skills. Marching to the beat of his own drum—in class and at home—helps your preschooler make a vital rhythm and body connection, one that’s necessary to help him master any number of movement activities such as writing, dribbling and shooting a basketball, dancing, and skipping.
Home Kit: Home CD and magazine-style Family Guide (includes the class story Henry’s Parade)
November – All Keyed Up
A piano and the well-known composer, J.S. Bach, help your preschooler get ready for school this month. The answer is right at the tip of your fingers. The same fine motor skills and hand-eye coordination your preschooler needs to hold a pencil—are developed through the special keyboard-playing activities we’ll be playing in class.
