Two and a half weeks from today we will be starting our Winter 2012 Semester. I have heard from many families already and am very excited about the balance between returning families – some we haven’t seen for a semester or two – and brand new families to our program. Obviously, from a business/teacher standpoint I believe what we do is incredibly valuable and important. But, I also can confidently tell you that this is a choice I would make for my children over and over again (and did). Some day – far far far in the future- when I have grandchildren, it is the choice I will make for them as well.
We can tell you over and over again about the educational benefits your children will receive by participating in a Kindermusik class. We can emphasis how those benefits are enhanced by re-enrolling for consecutive semesters. I can post data, and studies, and expert testimonials. But, you know what I think is most telling? The children themselves – I love the countless number of times I have heard from parents since Christmas that their children are disappointed that classes haven’t started yet, the ones who ask every day when they are going to see Miss Christa, Miss Liesbeth, Miss Martha or Miss Emily again, the ones I run into at the store who I then hear continuing to talk about “music class” and “Miss Christa” from the aisles over as mom and dad continue their shopping.
Children LOVE Kindermusik – and on some level that I’m sure they can’t articulate – they know it is good for them as well. They get the freedom to pretend, explore, be active, use their voice, meet friends in an environment designed to meet their needs and accommodate their levels of activity.
Kindermusik is not only valuable right now -time for you and your child to spend together and for your child to use their whole being (physical, mental and emotional) to explore music and learning, but it is also an investment in the future. Who doesn’t want to give their child the tools to learn and process better as they grow and develop? Our classes work out to being less than $12.00 per week. You can’t take a family of four to a fast food restaurant for that! I guarantee we are a much healthier choice!
Registration is happening now – please contact me as soon as possible to insure that your spot is secure in the class of your choice.
Wish List Items that We Will Happily Repurpose For You:
Broken, old crayons – need before February 1 for a Valentine’s item for our Open House.
Empty plastic coffee cans (Folger’s Maxwell House) with lids – these make great storage and drums.
Empty plastic ice cream tubs (the big ones are best but any size) again great storage and drums.
Paper bags – tons of things to do with these.
Stickers – we are always looking for stickers to give away in class and to use for craft items.
Wine/Champagne Corks – we don’t use these in class but Miss Christa has been crafting with them for her Aunts and mother and could use more. They do not have to be “real” cork.
Remember – today is the last day to enroll for Play Dates happening next week. I’m in the office and would love to hear from you. Taking enrollments is much more fun than working on paperwork for the IRS.
