For 3 to 5+ year olds this class is full of playful imagination and story. Music and movement are the cornerstones for social skills, physical development, listening, singing, and cooperation. In this level the children spend 1/2 hour with Ms. Yvette then bring in the grownups to share in the final 15 minutes. It's a perfect way to begin stepping out on their own with confidence.
Did you know that preschoolers have a natural love of music? Level 3 classes use music to boost language skills, confidence, social-emotional skills, and self-control.
Our Level 3 classes start with instrument exploration and lean into how to play music as a group. Preschoolers experience all the excitement of new sounds and independent creativity, while fueling their social-emotional development (and school readiness!) by learning how to work together.
