Kindermusik Foundations of Learning:

In Village you'll learn how music and movement stimulate development in every part of your baby's brain.

A few examples of how Foundations of Learning are incorporated in class:

The high and low pitches we use in Village class are basic elements in music and are also basic to language acquisition and development of the speaking voice. Exposure to high sounds play an important role in maintaining alertness and energy required for baby's learning.

We spend time in Village using touch in different ways with different parts of the body. Babies learn dimension, texture, line and even color through touch and also the sense of this is me and this is something else. Intentional touch strengthens babies' ability to relax while relieving digestive problems or fussiness.

When we're talking and making sounds with our babies in Village class, we pause and give them a chance to respond. This helps them to learn "turn taking" which is fundamental to conversation. Actual words aren't important, but vocal inflection demonstrates natural conversation along with eye contact that encourages response.
