Summer 2010

Hello!! I hope that the month of June has been a wonderful start to your summer. It's been a busy month for me!! My 2 children and myself took off for a week at the beach at the beginning of the month to spend some time with my brother and his family!! It was a great way to start the summer!! Weather was awesome and we did absolutely nothing but sit on the beach, play in the ocean and pool, listen to books on ipods, play Bocce Balls and eat at some great restaurants!!



Ms. Jackie and I are planning on a few one-day Kindermusik Playdates for the month of August. Dates and times will be announced as soon as they are confirmed with the locations.



I have created a survey for the Fall Schedule - please click on the link below to take the Fall Schedule Survey!!!

Winter Weather

We had our first little snow fall this morning!! We only had a sprinkling of snow but what a mess it created!!! It reminded me that we have not talked this semester about weather delays, cancellations, etc.

We follow the school district closings in the district that the classes are held. Classes in Kettering follow the Kettering City schools, classes in Mason follow the Mason City Schools, and classes in Beavercreek follow the Beavercreek City Schools. If the schools are on a delay classes will run as scheduled. If we cancel a class due to illness or weather - we will make up the class. Usually that make-up day comes at the end of the semester unless you are able to make up the class on another day.

Check your local TV station for closings. Usually the closings will be on the TV until around 9am. You can also check the TV websites. Usually the school districts will have it on their own website as well. Ms. Kim will also put any cancellations on her phone message - 937-367-6732. Please feel free to call if you have any questions about your class.

If you feel that the weather or roads are too bad for you to attend you are more than welcome to make up your class on another day and/or in another location. Just contact your teacher about make-up classes.

I hope that "snow days" will come on days that we do not have Kindermusik classes!!!

Ms. Kim

Winter/Spring 2010 classes now on-line

The Winter/Spring 2010 class sessions are now on-line and open for enrollment in the Kettering and Beavercreek locations. The Mason classes will be on-line soon. As many of you know we had to change locations in Mason. The Mason Fine Arts buiding sold this fall and we had to make a quick change of locations. Ms. Jackie and I would like to say THANK YOU!!! THANK YOU!!! to our wonderful Mason parents!!! Our parents and children were very patient during this transition time! Ms. Jackie really misses the Mason Fine Arts Center - she was spoiled by having all her instruments and materials in one location and one room. Ms. Jackie is back to the world of rolling suitcases to move her instruments to and from classes. The exercise is good for her!!! We are working on a Winter/Spring schedule with the Heritage Presbyterian Church for the Winter session as well as another location!!! Ms. Jackie is exicted about the new location. More information will follow once we have the schedule finalized!!

HAPPY HOLIDAYS!!!

The holidays are fast approaching!! Are you looking for a new gift for your child or are the grandparents looking for a new gift idea!! Kimberly's Kindermusik offers Gift Certificates!! What a great gift for your child or the child in your life!!! Contact Kim for more details!

The Fall 2009 schedule is now ON-LINE at http://kimberlyskindermusik.kindermusik.net

Please check out the classes.

We have a couple of new offerings this fall.

ABC MUSIC & ME - at Bright Beginnings Preschool - this class will be on-line as soon as the schedule is finalized with the preschool.

SIGN LANGUAGE CLASS - We have offered the Kindermusik Sign and Sing class for several years now! We have had parents tell us that they want MORE!! So...here it is. This will be a 5 week - refresher/continuation signing class. If you were in the class or if you are registering for the class this fall you are welcome to join us!!! We will continue to learn more signs and of course sing, play instruments and dance each week. The class will be offered after the regular 10 week Sign and Sing class at each location.

HIRING NEW EDUCATORS - I am currently looking to hire new Kindermusik educators. If you are interested in teaching Kindermusik or if you know of someone who would be a great Kindermusik educator please contact me at kimberlyskindermusik@yahoo.com or call at 937-367-6732. You need to have a Kindermusik license and to do that you need to take the Kindermusik Fundamentals Course. I am a mentor for Kindermusik International and will be starting a new group mid-August. I would love to have some new students who will be teaching by January 2010 in that class!!!!

Music Nutures Premature Babies

An increasing amount of evidence shows that hospitals that play music to premature babies help them grow and thrive. The benefits are said to be calmer infants and parents as well as faster weight gain and shorter hospital stays. A Canadian team reviewed nine studies and found music reduced pain and encouraged better oral feeding.
