Kindermusik is about kids, parents, and teachers—coming together and having a great time! It’s about helping you grow closer to your child. Enriching her environment and her development. Giving him a lifelong love of music and a foundation for learning. Every week you’ll sing, dance, sway and play with a variety of musical instruments and songs, and your included home materials, geared specifically to your child's developmental level, will help you increase the learning all week long. Mrs. Aimee has been teaching Kindermusik for about 10 years and is a state certified Infant Toddler Developmental Specialist.

All over the world, parents bond with their babies through musical sounds and rhythmic movement. They rock and swing their children, put them to sleep with lullabies, make them laugh with nursery rhymes. Parents know instinctively what scientists have now proven: young children thrive on music. Psychologists, neuroscientists, and experts in early childhood development have demonstrated that music does more for children than bring them joy; it helps their brain cells make the connections needed for virtually every kind of intelligence. When young children are consistently engaged by music in an age-appropriate, socially accepting environment, they benefit at many levels:

o       They gain the phonological processing, spoken language, and comprehension skills that are the foundation of reading.
o       They build the spatial-temporal and reasoning skills required for math, science, and engineering.
o       They develop social and emotional skills that are essential for school readiness.
o       By moving and dancing to music and playing simple instruments, children improve their gross and fine motor skills.
o       Activities that encourage freedom within a fun and friendly structure spark their creativity. 

Classes are for children 0-7 years old and are available for day and evenings in Lithia. For more information visit the Delightful Sounds website, email Mrs. Aimee, or call (813) 503-6976
