Kindermusik helps Palm Beach Preschoolers Thrive


There's a new Kindermusik program that's helping Palm Beach preschoolers thrive. Developed by Kindermusik International, ABC Music & Me is an early childhoold literacy program that uses music as the vehicle for learning. It's the perfect blend of essential ingredients that will have lasting benefits for your child in school and beyond. No matter your age, everyone has the innate desire to be good at something. Successful completion of seemingly simple tasks can be overwhelming and frustrating to a young preschooler. At a time when so many new skills are learned, the acquisition of language is mastered and children gain independence at self-care tasks, new information is coming at the three and four year old at lightning speed. Preschool children seek out this independence, yet at the same time they need constant approval and praise. This “clingy” behavior as some people mistakenly label it, is not the fault of the child and is often misinterpreted as bad behavior. Any parent can relate to the scenario of hearing your child saying “Watch what I can do…” over and over…and over again. “Did you see me? Are you listening…?” and then the tears begin. What that child is really asking for is approval and acceptance. Gaining confidence is the number one barrier many children lack when they encounter problems with schoolwork or social behaviors. Achieving this early on the educational pathway lays a lasting foundation for continued success.
Kindermusik provides a healthy environment for the preschool child because it perfectly combines a child’s need for attention, closely guided instruction, peer support, and most importantly age appropriate materials that provide a spark for the child’s imaginative thought processes to develop. This is a skill they will carry with them for a lifetime. Through creative play, group singing, instrument exploration, and imaginative storytelling, children thrive because it is the environment they feel most comfortable in! Having children complete worksheets or specific and uniform tasks is not the goal of a Kindermusik classroom. The overall goal is to provide a nourishing environment in which a child can achieve a great deal of satisfaction. Children gain confidence and learn how to share in so many valuable ways. We believe that wiggles and giggles is the best way to learn at this young age. Over thirty years of research and careful development from a qualified team of doctors, psychologists, and talented musicians stands behind Kindermusik. You’re already doing everything you can to be a great parent. Kindermusik makes this job even easier because it fine-tunes your child’s listening skills, ability to focus, and communicate thoughts effectively in a social environment.
