Can you sound like an elephant? Or hop like a bunny? Our Time encourages your child to uncover an engaging musical world while building confidence, self-control and communications skills. Singing, imitating sounds, rhyming and object identification foster language skills. Creative movement to various musical “moods” develops a sense of balance, timing and spatial awareness. Listening and turn-taking encourage blossoming social skills.
Kindermusik Our Time is designed for children 1½ years to 3 years of age. Along with an accompanying parent or caregiver, children meet weekly for a 45-minute class and enjoy singing, moving, listening and interacting socially, and playing simple instruments. Exploration Time encourages a child's discovery of specially designed instruments, textures, sounds and movements; language skills are fostered with singing, sound imitation, and vocal play; Music & Movement Story Time encourages emergent literacy skills; and creative dancing affirms a child's urge to move.

Village—newborn to 1.5 years
Early on, someone probably sang this rhyme to you. That's likely why you still know "Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star." The earlier you sing rhymes like these to your little one, new research shows the earlier she makes sense of language, gets ready for reading, and so much more.
Busy Days
Using all the places you go with your baby as a theme, we'll expand your repertoire of on-the-go, attention-getting songs, and rhymes to grow with you both. Each lesson features new activities and songs you can sing this summer—at the store, the playground, the doctor, and more.
At Home Materials include: Hardcover book, a wooden rolly cage-bell, CD features a slip-in, slip-out lyric book inside the case, and a home activities poster.
