Brokerage 905-845-2200 Getting ready for preschool is child's play It's not too late to register for fall Kindermusik (Oakville, ON) ­ In a Kindermusik class, miming and singing "Wheels on the Bus" may seem like child's play, but it's actually helping a child develop better coordination and language skills. Fall registration continues for Jennifer Averink's Kindermusik program, where parents and their children--ages newborn to 7 years old--sing, dance and make music together to develop better learning skills for the child. Parents also learn more about the developmental process and benefits by activities in class. Studies continue to show that music has a positive impact on a child's ability to learn. Not only in terms of preschool readiness, but making and responding to music can help a child use scissors, kick a ball, as well as have a positive impact on a child's sense of self-esteem and self-expression. Kindermusik classes are designed by music and early childhood educators. Activities are based on new and proven research that music and music making can stimulate every area in the child's development. "For a child, being ready for preschool is about feeling comfortable with yourself," says Averink, who operates the Kindermusik program at the Performance School of Music. "Then they have the confidence to leave mom and dad at home and get involved with what's going on in preschool." Kindermusik's Philosophy: · Child-centered · Developmentally Appropriate · Concerned with the Whole Child · Process, not Performance-oriented · Fun for the child & for Families · Inclusive of Parents · Use of Quality Audio and Visual Learning Materials in Class & at Home Public Meetings to Review the Halton District School Board's Long-Term Accommodation Plan Parents and community members are invited to attend a public meeting to review and provide feedback on the Halton District School Board's Long-Term Accommodation Plan.
