Kindermusik Village:  A Bonding Experience

The Kindermusik Village class provides a delightful environment unlike any other.  Through a unique blend of multi-level activities that include creative movement, vocal play, object and instrument exploration, and a colorful literature component, a baby's growth and development are stimulated and all senses engaged.

Kindermusik Village is for lap-babies, crawlers, and walkers.  It incorporates the most current research on early childhood development and provides families a special place for learning and connecting with other parents and babies through music and movement.  Program fee does not include $40 kit fee payable to class instructor at the first class.

Kindermusik Village offers two unique programs: "Hickory, Dickory, Tickle, and Bounce" and "The Rhythm of My Day".  Enjoy one or both of these programs and introduce your child to the wonderful world of music while enjoying a unique bonding experience with your child that will be cherished for years to come. 

Hickory, Dickory, Tickle, and Bounce

Research shows exposing babies to nursery rhymes and songs can improve emerging language-learning skills. “Hickory, Dickory, Tickle, and Bounce” puts that research to good use by introducing Mother Goose-like stories and rhymes that will kick start your child’s learning. Develop communication strategies through listening activities, speaking “parentese” and sign language and watch your baby grow! This class is offered in collaboration with the Grayslake Park District.

Kindermusik Our Time

Our Time encourages toddlers to uncover an engaging musical world while building confidence, self-control, and communication skills through singing, imitating sounds, rhyming, and object identification.  Creative movement to various musical "moods" develops a sense of balance, timing, and spatial awareness.  Listening and turn-taking encourage blossoming social skills.

Our Time reflects the emotional foundations of school readiness and the latest research on music and early childhood development.  Our Time is a unique opportunity for parent and child to interact and learn together in an unhurried and joyful manner.   Program fee does not include $60 kit fee payable to instructor at first class. 

 Kindermusik Our Time offers one unique program this season: "Milk & Cookies".

Milk and Cookies

Make everyday activities and chores easier and more rewarding with music. Cook and sing to The Muffin Man, dust and clean to In My House, and wash clothes to the delightful Washing Machine. Baking cookies, wiggling like jelly, grocery shopping, making tea, and other common household tasks are represented in both familiar and new songs for you and your child to enjoy. Move, play, and sing your way through the day! This class is offered in collaboration with the Grayslake Park District.
