Young Years is an early childhood music and movement program based on the beliefs that every child is musical, every parent is the child’s most important teacher, and that the home is the most important place from which learning can take root and grow.

Research shows that music nurtures a child’s musicality; cognitive, emotional, social, language, and physical development; literacy; listening and problem-solving abilities; and self-esteem. By adding new concepts and challenges along the way, each age-appropriate program acts as a stepping stone to the next, paving the way to a musical journey that can last seven magnificent musical years.

The Young Years program consists so much more than a weekly class. The “At Home” materials you receive from your educator are just the tools you need to continue the one-of-a-kind experience together as a family.
