Newborn - 18 months: Enrol in Village
Village class activities are developmentally appropriate for children to 18 months, and the activities are geared for lap-babies, crawlers and walkers. At close to 18 months, your child will be one of the oldest in the class and a leader for the younger children. Children younger than 18 months rarely have the development skills appropriate for an Our Time class.

18 months - 3.5 yrs: Enrol in Our Time

Children younger than 18 months rarely have the development skills appropriate for an Our Time class.

3 years - 3.5 years: Enrol your child in "Our Time" or "Imagine That"

If your child still experiences a great deal of separation anxiety, choose the Our Time Class. If your child is independent, has good verbal skills, and is starting to use his or her imagination, Imagine That for 3.5 - 5 years may be appropriate. Consider this: Imagine That does have more "sit and learn" activities. Imagine That also asks your child to respond verbally, giving ideas and suggestions during many activities, but especially during story telling. .

Adults are welcome to attend the class until their child is comfortable with them leaving.

3.5 - 5 years: Enrol your child in "Imagine That"

5 years - 7 years : Enrol your child in "Young Child"

2 (or more) children in all ages: Enrol your children in individual classes or "Family Time"

ALL above CLASSES ARE TAUGHT using Kindermusik's "process not performance" philosophy, developmentally appropriate curriculum and a gentle teaching approach. See "Courses" for descriptions of all Kindermusik curricula.

STILL NOT CERTAIN WHICH CLASS TO CHOOSE?
All children are unique, and develop at their own pace. The age guidelines quoted are indicative of the minimum age required by most children. If you still have questions, then ask Ilona and she will discuss and advise you on what is the most appropriate class for you child.
