From baby-5yrs
Bringing together infants, toddlers, and preschoolers can be so much fun! Mixed-age classes offer a unique opportunity to nurture language, social skills and emotional intelligence in a supporting and nurturing environment.
What is uniquely special about this mixed-age group class?
Designed to provide a rich, engaging, and inclusive experience for children of varying ages and developmental stages, younger children learn by observing and listening to older children who show what's possible and the adults serve as role models to all.
How is our multilingual family music class different to a playgroup or other music class?
Research proves that every child has musical potential and all children are able to learn and express themselves musically. Children who learn multiliple languages and music early on, show enhanced problem-solving skills, improved memory and greater cognitive flexibility.
While there may be other activities for young kids, this mixed-age group multilingual music class is tailored to meet children where they're at. With a deep understanding of what's happening in those little brains with music and language, and with activities adapted for the different ages, we work alongside families to nurture the following areas of development:
- communication
- focused listening
- self-regulation
- motor skills
- social awareness
- parent-child bonding
- musical foundations

This inclusive and play-based class celebrates the diversity of languages and cultures by incorporating bilingual elements, exposing children to a rich linguistic and musical experience and is intended to:
- Cultivate a love for music and languages from an early age
- Support language development towards multilingualism
- Foster cultural awareness and appreciation
- Enhance social, cognitive, and emotional development
- Strengthen the parent-child bond through shared musical experiences
In a nurturing and structured musical environment, social and leadership skills emerge. Children start to become aware of social norms for behaviour but the youngest are not expected to conform just yet!
Alas! Helping young children learn how to manoevre their bodies through guided movement, balance with calm, focused and quiet moments can improve their impulse control.
