What is mainly music?
-
Young children and their caregivers enjoying music, rhyme, rhythm, creative dance and more.
-
Preschool children developing skills – co-ordination, fine motor skills, gross motor movements, social interaction, gaining an appreciation of music and musical styles, as well as language development.
-
Providing children with a structured environment and then a time of free play.
-
Bringing grown-up and child together for a time of safe interaction, and in doing so, teaching families some rhymes and songs that can be used at home to help with cleaning up, colours, counting, and more.
-
An opportunity for parents to network with other parents of preschool children. And for families to find a sense of ‘old fashioned community’.
-
Opportunities for families to be helped - practical needs such as meals, transport, help with shifting house, and babysitting.
-
Celebration of Mothers’ Day and Fathers’ Day - reminding parents that they are undertaking a very important role as parent.
