Welcome to Kindergarten! This is a song and play-based kindergarten program. Each week, children will learn new songs, talk with friends and share what they have colored. Play is essential to young children’s healthy development and learning. Yet play is rapidly disappearing from many kindergarten programs. Each week, we will learn two new songs and movement games. Children can also request their favorite songs from our repertoire of children’s songs. The songs support learning language development and social emotional skills.
