In view of the recent corona virus developments, we are taking steps to ensure the safety of our children, families, and staff.

Part of these measures includes a Travel Declaration Form which all students need to fill out. Please click on the link below to access the form.

Patience for Nicholas: Shirley Hanneman

Nicholas was just 2 years old when he came to class for the first time. He kept repeating “go home” in a defiant tone of voice. Mom had to keep blocking his path to the door. Nicholas had to be removed from class by his mother several times. This scenario repeated itself for several more classes. I reassured his mother that he was just fine, he didn’t bother me, and that things would get better. Fortunately, she stuck with the class and played the audio often at home. By the end of the semester he was having fun, was a much calmer child and was sharing and interacting with everyone. I received a Christmas card from them with a message that brought tears to my eyes- “Thank you for your patience with Nicholas. Kindermusik has changed his life!” In the next class, Nicholas started singing in class and sings constantly at home. I am so pleased to be able to reach children and change lives with Kindermusik.

Maestro – Conductor’s Circle

As I sit here admiring the new certificate that we have received, I literally feel the muscle-aches, throat itches and drained mind float gently away. Maestro status again, I’m so glad that the status we painstakingly attained since 2013 has been maintained. But the real joy is the upgrade to Conductor’s Circle! We are top 1%!! In the world!! Hip Hip Hippity Hooray!

I would like to thank all my dear parents for believing in us, and believing in what the programme can do for your child. I’m certain you have not been disappointed and now we have proven that you have made a very wise choice from the first day since you and your child(ren) joined us.
