"Our Time" Class

Can you sound like an elephant? Or hop like a bunny? Your child will uncover an engaging musical world while building confidence, self-control and communications skills. Singing, imitating sounds and rhyming foster language development. Creative movement to various musical “moods” develops a sense of balance, timing and spatial awareness. Listening and turn-taking encourage blossoming social skills. Children discover and explore specially designed instruments, hear and sing music from around the world, in many languages. Music & Movement Story Time encourages emergent literacy skills. Creative dancing affirms a child's urge to move, developing large motor skills.

Milk & Cookies
for Fall 2008

Milk & Cookies The Delights of Home Encourage Parent and Child Interaction Imagine the aroma of baking cookies, the coziness of the family kitchen, the chatter among sisters, brothers, grandmas, granddads, mom and dad, and the anticipation and excitement of having friends come to visit. These moments at home are times to be shared and treasured. These special moments are captured in Milk & Cookies, the third unit of Kindermusik Our Time. As in the previous units of Our Time, the central focus of Milk & Cookies is the toddler's need for security balanced with his need for independence. Milk & Cookies songs and activities promote interaction between parent and child where the parent gently guides their child's learning and the process of scaffolding takes place. Capturing the security, excitement and familiarity of "at home" moments is the ideal theme for empowering the parent to act as teacher through scaffolding. What better way for parents to lead their child than with familiar, everyday home activities such cooking in the kitchen, dusting and washing clothes.	At Home Materials
	As in other Our Time units, the child's At Home materials are packaged in their own distinctive kit. The Milk & Cookies At Home kit consists of a Home Activity book, two CDs, two literature books and a stir xylophone. These items are packaged together in a high quality, deep purple insulated lunch bag, great for picnic at the park, visits to Grandma's.

Missouri Parents As Teachers (P.A.T.) and Kindermusik Agree

Family involvement in your child's learning is a fundamental cornerstone of the P.A.T. philosophy, as well as the Kindermusik philosophy because we both believe the parent is the child’s most important teacher and the home is the most important place for a child’s learning to take root and grow. After all, there’s no better way to nurture your child’s development – and you’ll love doing it together – every day!
