DewDrops—Lesson One (Routines)

Dear Village Parent,

Welcome to Kindermusik Village DewDrops! These eight weeks together mean a new community, magical and musical experiences, and “ah-ha” moments celebrating your little ones. You’ll learn the many benefits of Kindermusik to your growing baby and invaluable ways to take Kindermusik home, making your daily routines even more easy and fun!

At Lesson One you and your baby were introduced to several activities that will quickly become favorite Village routines. Weekly class routines, such as the ones listed below, help regulate your baby’s inner clock and help your baby cope with change more easily. This, in turn, allows her to develop a sense of identity within our new community.

Gathering Time—Let’s get to know each other before class begins!

Hello Song—What better way to start off class than by singing hello to you, your baby, and everyone?

Baby warm-up and exercise—Your little one will be physically active during the class—better warm-up those little muscles.

Goodbye Song— The perfect ending of every Village class is singing goodbye to each other.

Adding music and movement to any of your baby’s routines at home can make life more enjoyable for everyone. Choose a couple of your favorite songs and claim them as your routine songs—one for your early morning riser, one for diaper time, and one for quiet calming down—no matter the time of day (or night). Stay with the song and routine combo and soon your baby will start to make the song and routine association, triggering a specific response.

Musically yours,

Lynda
