Kindermusik supports Change 4 Life

Change 4 Life is the government initiative to encourage children to be more healthy by eating properly and doing more exercise.
Kindermusik programmes contain and music and movement. We realise children learn and develop better when they are able to move their bodies to music. It improves their sense of balance, their spatial awareness, burns up energy and its lots of fun. Each 45 minute class can be a significant contributor to the daily exercise recommended by the government, with dancing, instrument play along, fine and gross motor movement time, rocking, object play and more.
If you are yet to experience a Kindermusik class, call your local educator for a free trial.
