Blending academics is a natural
progression when young children are involved with movement and
dance. Learning is
fun when you can see the word "Circle"
and circle your arms, or see the shape "Circle" and hop around
the circle. Sequencing a combination of movements helps to
develop memory and placing your body in various shapes promotes
balance and coordination, especially when asked to move from
shape to shape as the music changes in tempo and mood.
Problem solving and language
development are key ingredients in the
Kinderdance® programs. A child is asked "How would you slide
from corner one, to corner two?" or "What other direction can
your body turn?". The possibilities for thinking creatively are
endless and the children love the challenge of learning to move
their bodies in a variety of ways, both structured and
unstructured. Having many senses excited greatly enhances
learning because we all learn differently so it is important to
teach to all of the senses in a variety of different ways. This
eclectic approach to learning allows the children to learn and
grow at their own pace.
In conclusion, a
developmentally designed movement program will enhance a young
child`s ability to learn and grow. The
young child`s nervous system will be given an opportunity to
properly develop, ensuring that the mind and body are working as
one. Our goal is to reach out to as many preschoolers as possible
across the US, Canada and the World to prepare our children for
the challenges that face them in the new millennium. Also, we
want to reach out to all those who would join us and take up this
challenge as a lifetime career.
