Spring 2009 Class!

I am excited to announce that I will be teaching an Imagine That! class for ages 3-5 years old at the Little Learner's Academy in West Jordan. It is a wonderful, music-based preschool that I am fortunate to be associated with!


Using the power of music, Kindermusik’s Imagine That! taps into your preschooler’s creative spirit and boundless energy and focuses on developing his learning strengths and self-confidence so he’ll be ready for school, prepared for future music lessons…or able to leap tall buildings.

What you’ll experience in class:

  • Pretend Play. Pretend play activities are integrated with music, vocal development, storytelling, listening, movement and literacy aspects of each class. When based upon a child’s real life experiences, pretend play helps develop language, sensory, motor and cognitive skills.
  • Musical Variety and Singing. Activities include a mixture of musical genres and styles and provide a setting for your child to explore his many voices and to use a “singing voice.” Singing helps with memory and recall, physical development, creativity and socialization.
  • Movement Activities. Each class provides various opportunities for movement such as synchronized movement, group dances and circle games, and even expressive movement.
  • Storytelling and Literacy. Each class is built on the development of a story, so you’ll hear preschoolers search for the word to say what they mean and try to keep up with their busy minds, emerging wants, needs, likes, and dislikes.
  • Parent Involvement. Preschoolers are learning to be self-sufficient in a group setting of peers, while many times still needing the emotional security provided by a parent. He’ll experience both in Imagine That! Caregivers participate in the last 10-15 minutes of class. Plus the At Home Materials ensures the learning continues at home with your child’s best teacher—you!

Enrollment includes:

  • Developmentally appropriate curriculum for parents and preschoolers, ages 3 to 5 years
  • 15 week semester
  • Weekly 45-minute class includes a variety of activities, with the last several activities in class shared with parents
  • One set of At Home Materials—40-page activity book, two literature books, game board play set, instrument, and two CDs of music from class

Classes will be held on Fridays from 10:30 am-11:15 am beginning on January 23rd. F0r more information contact Marissa at marissam_11@yahoo.com or leave a comment!
