Village

Fall 2011

Feathers explores a delightful range of songs, movement activities,

object play, and instrument play-alongs, all relating to our feathered

friends. The Australian Kookaburra, the African Ostrich, and many

more birds from across the world are featured in songs, dances, and

poems.

Do-Si-Do: Pick up your baby and dance. Dance the Charleston, the

Tango, and the Cha-Cha and learn why dancing with your baby helps

develop vital learning skills--from head to toe. We will play a variety

of baby appropriate instruments and dance with fun props.

Curriculums for Winter/Spring 2011:

Hickory Dickory Tickle and Bounce is focused on further feeding

a baby's language development through the rhythmic nature of

nursery rhymes. You and your child will also discover plenty of

movement activities throughout the semester with many additional

movement concepts - like up and down - incorporated into the

literature book. Favorite songs and activities include “Peek-a-boo,”

“Baa Baa Black Sheep,” “Beat the Drum,” “Roll That Ball,” “Sulla

Lulla,” and “The Blackbird.”

Rhythm of My Day will help you bring more rhythm and routine to

your baby's day, as well as help develop lasting learning skills.

We'll show you how and tell you why music can help your little one

soothe into the day’s schedule and help build a strong body and

mind network for learning. You can bring home those same stress-

free play and relaxation techniques from class, and incorporate

them into your daily routines.

Winter/Spring 2010:

Cock-a-Doodle Moo explores a farm theme through music, motion and

multi-sensory activities. Baby will enjoy the movement of a “hayride”

and experience vocal play by using farm animal sounds.

Dew Drops: Stop and smell the roses—and lily of the valley, and tulips,

and pansies. Families will play and move together to songs about flowers,

such as “Jasmine Flower,” “How Does Your Garden Grow?” and “White

Coral Bells.” They’ll also hear traditional Irish music: they’ll dance a jig,

move to the “Irish Trot” and exercise to “Did You Ever See a Lassie.” The

book is all flowers and the instrument is flower-bells.

Fall 2010:

Zoom Buggy: Swoosh, vroom, and clickety clack your way through

this delightful unit. Babies and adults will dance, sing and play

instruments to the theme of being on the go. Chug around the room

to the song “Little Red Caboose,” hold on tightly while “Riding in the

Buggy,” and dance your way to “Zoom-e-oh!” Engage in rituals and

playful activities such as infant massage, lap bounces, exercise and

quiet time.

Dream Pillow: This title alone brings images of rocking, cuddling,

singing, and lulling to sleep. But leading up to sleepy time are many

upbeat and playful activities. Babies and Adults will swirl to a dreamy

cloud dance “Meet Me Tonight in Dreamland.” They’ll also play baby

appropriate instruments to “Aiken Drum” and “Sarasponda.” Favorite

nursery rhymes like “Wee Willie Winkie” and “Diddle, Diddle,

Dumpling,” are sprinkled throughout the classes. It’s easy to weave

many of the class songs and activities into your families’ daily routines.
