Kindermusik of Carroll County
Kindermusik is German for children's music, and for over 25 years children
have experienced the joy of music through this unique broad-based curricula.
It allows children to explore their world through music. With the prorgrams'
emphasis on process rather than performance, Kindermusik allows the teacher
to create an environment that nurtures the total development of the child,
while laying the foundation for musical growth and later formal instruction.
Kindermusik is a gently structured, flexible curriculum that allows the
child to learn and develop at his or her own pace - it is not a toddler
prep school that pushes young children to learn. The goal is not
necessarily to make your child a musician, but to make your child more eager
to learn, more awake and wholly alive in the world.
A rich assortment of musical activities are designed to promote language
development, symbolic thinking, coordination, and social interactions which
enhances the cognitive, social, and emotional development.

I know preschool teachers who will say they can tell a difference between a
child who has been in Kindermusik, and one who hasn't. More confident,
bursting with ideas, and ready to learn, this preschool curriculum helps
develop these skills and more. We use a unique, child-centered approach
that's based on more than 25 years of research in child development.
