Which Agegroup is Best for Us?
The Kindermusik philosophy
springs from genuine respect for each child’s individual rate of development. Class activities and At-Home Materials are designed to honor, support, and celebrate the wonderful uniqueness of each child. Classes have overlapping age ranges to help parents accommodate their child’s own needs.
While a child should be at least the minimum age to enroll in any given class, there are three critical “transitional stages” when parents have an important choice to make about which class is most appropriate and beneficial for their child when broaching age 1 1/2, age 3 1/2 and age 5.
If your child is near a transitional stage, the tabs with transitional ages above will lead you to guidelines which may help your decision.
While looking over this information carefully consider the following:
- Which of these levels will my child thrive in, rather than just being able to get along in?
- Am I considering my child’s pleasure and emotional development as much as their cognitive development?
- Is my child eager for added independence and challenges, or are they most delighted by sharing special time with me to help guide and support them?
Of course, we are always here to discuss individual questions and concerns- please do not hesitate to contact us – sharing in your child’s developmental journey is both our profession and our joy.
My child is nearing 18 months. Should I enroll my child in Village, Our Time, or Family Time?
