โญWelcome to S I N G C R E A T E P L A Y!โญ
We are an original educational organization dedicated to providing top-quality music education and social-emotional learning to young children.
With a keen understanding that learning cannot happen without a happy, relaxed, and confident mindset, we have developed a music curriculum designed for learners as young as 3 years old; our social-emotional curriculum teaches children strategies, tools and techniques to understand and manage their emotions.
Would you like your child to become more confident, have a high self-esteem and a positive attitude towards life-challenges? Youโre in the right place! Our team of dedicated educators is committed to inclusivity, to nurturing a growth mindset and supporting children in their wandering of self-exploration. We build on childrenโs curiosity, their love for music, we help them find their true self, express their feelings in a safe way, and increase their confidence.
Join us now, on this incredible journey of self-discovery, creativity and personal growth!
Be the best of you, today! Shine Brightly!
