All new enrolments receive a Village Nappy Bag. It is very handy.
You will find that it is the perfect size to be carried anywhere for quick visits!
Village is for lap babies, crawlers, and walkers accompanied by a parent or caregiver. This is a special program where you and your baby share in the moments that happen through music, movement, touch and sounds.
At Musikids we teach you how to gently teach your baby without you even knowing it! You will learn activities and strategies that will make those stressful times at home or ‘out and about’ disappear.
We sing, dance and play developmentally appropriate instruments that are musical and fun, all the while helping your baby to make a connection with you and his/her world in a gentle and non-judgmental environment.
What a Parent and Child Will Experience in Class:
- Variety of Music – Musical diversity builds strong neural in a baby’s forming mind, which is why each Kindermusik semester contains an array of styles, sounds, and genres.
- Instrument Play — Age-appropriate experiences with child-safe instruments enhance a sense of rhythm and steady beat, develops a keen awareness of the distinguishing qualities of sound, and encourages spontaneity and creativity.
- Dance – A classroom full of baby and adult pairs dancing together helps a little body develop the muscle strength needed to crawl and walk and helps a little heart to fall in love with the sheer joy of responding to music.
- Together Time – A Kindermusik class is truly the essence of “quality time,” offering the parent a place to create special memories with their child, gain new insights into their child’s development, and nurture their child’s natural love of music.
- Expert Advice — A Kindermusik Educator explains “what-to-watch-for” every step of the way and how each activity enhances a child’s complete development.
- Learning Continues at Home — With the home materials, the learning continues at home with the child’s best teacher—the parent!

What units are we doing this semester?
Term 1
DewDrops — Stop and smell the roses—and lily of the valley, and tulips, and pansies. In this class, parents and babies will play and move together to songs about flowers, such as “Jasmine Flower,” “How Does Your Garden Grow?,” and “White Coral Bells.” You will also hear traditional Irish music, dance a jig, and move to the “Irish Trot.”
Home Materials: CD of beautifully arranged songs from class, a board book of colourful flowers—DewDrops, a set of Art Banners for the nursery wall, and a Flower Bells instrument for music making at home.

Term 2
Zoom Buggy!—Swoosh, vroom, and clickety-clack your way through this delightful unit. Babies and adults will dance, sing, and play instruments to the theme of being on the go. Chug around the room to the song “Little Red Caboose,” hold on tightly while “Riding in the Buggy,” and dance your way to “Zoom-e-oh!” Engage in rituals and playful activities such as infant massage, lap bounces, exercise, and quiet time.
Home Materials: Colourful board book of different vehicles—Zoom Buggy, Home CD of the songs heard in class, a set of Art Banners for the nursery wall that strengthens visions and promotes early literacy, and a Zoom Car baby instrument for music making at home.
