 His
blanket becomes a superhero’s cape. A cardboard box doubles as her
princess castle. Pots and pans
become a drum set. And she sings all the time. Sound like someone you
know?
Using the power of music,
Kindermusik’s Imagine That! taps into your preschooler’s creative spirit
and boundless energy and focuses on developing his learning strengths

"Toys I Make, Trips I Take!"
Think
of it like taking a course inside a child’s imagination. We’ll use
the theme of a toy shop to make our pretend-creations, using rhythm
and songs while
watching
your child’s imagination come to life. You'll discover an array of
magical stories, like one about a toy boat that goes on a musical
sea adventure and finds the dancing stars. |

What you’ll
experience in class:
-
Pretend Play.
Pretend play
activities are integrated with music, vocal development, storytelling,
listening, movement and literacy aspects of each class. When based
upon a child’s real life experiences, pretend play helps develop
language, sensory, motor and cognitive skills.
-
Musical Variety and
Singing.
Activities include a mixture of musical genres and
styles and provide a setting for your child to explore his many voices
and to use a “singing voice.” Singing helps with memory and recall,
physical development, creativity and socialization.
-
Storytelling and
Literacy.
Each class is built on the development of a story, so you’ll hear
preschoolers search for the word to say what they mean and try to keep
up with their busy minds, emerging wants, needs, likes, and dislikes.
-
Parent Involvement.
Preschoolers are learning to be self-sufficient in a group setting
of peers, while many times still needing the emotional security
provided by a parent. He’ll experience both in Imagine That!
Caregivers participate in the last 10-15 minutes of class. Plus the At
Home Materials ensures the learning continues at home with your
child’s best teacher—you!
For Fall 2012 the curriculum is:
 |
"Hello Weather, Let's Play Together!"
Sunshine,
rain, snow, thunderstorms, and more in this imaginative and
delightful weather-related musical adventure. Preschoolers create
storm sounds with a drum to “Wild Storms,” jump in pretend puddles
to “Mud Puddle Jump,” throw pretend snow-balls to “Snowballs,” and
sing along to “Colors of the Rainbow.” They’ll be surrounded in a
creative musical environment that integrates music, pretend play,
story telling, movement, and more. |
For Spring 2013 the curriculum is:
 |
"Cities! Busy Places ~ Friendly Faces"
In this
unit, sidewalks, elevators, skyscrapers, and world-traveling
photographers are the theme. Learning through the pretend play that
preschoolers adore, we'll be rhythmically busy playing storytelling
games and handcrafting city "buildings" from wax paper at home so we
can make a cityscape in class! Plus every activity has some at-home
adaptations so the parent can take part in the learning. With a pair
of resonator bars as a featured instrument, and a multicultural,
jazzy collection of music, preschoolers will develop the social and
intellectual skills they'll need in school. |
For Fall 2013 the curriculum is:
 |
"See What I Saw"
In this
class, preschoolers use their real experience of playing in the park
to create imaginative, storytelling scenarios with music—go on an
imaginary trip to Grasshopper Park where they sail down the park
slide and then recreate the sound of that experience with a loooong
vocal glissando. Each week provides preschoolers one
uninterrupted session of imaginative play that's guided in a very
specific, sequential way—with a special sharing time with parents in
the last 15 minutes of class |
