DoReMi Family Daycare

Children can greatly benefit from exposure to music in their development. Studies have shown that music increases socialization skills; develops self-expression, releases energy, creates focused attention and teaches children good listening skills. Children who are taught music early on easily develop the skills necessary to prosper throughout their lives. At Do Re Mi Family Day Care we provide a unique music environment where children learn skills and develop strong cognitive connections.

We are proud to offer this rare combination of music education and fun.  Our Day care services are specifically designed for children between two to five years of age as a preparatory program for kindergarten. If you'd like your child to benefit from this unique musical approach to day care we currently have several openings.

The skills your child will learn will foster the self-confidence that will ensure easy adjustment and success in kindergarten and further academic career.  At Do Re Mi Family Day Care we specialize in providing a caring, supportive environment in which your child can flourish.  

Curriculum

Learning Through Music

Home: Service

Math

Our math curriculum includes number recognition, ordering and grouping skills.  Hands-on practice with patterning helps kids to make sense of the world around them and teaches the foundation of mathematical reasoning. Math lessons include problem-solving games and data collecting activities. We learn geometry while practicing shape construction; we learn computation while baking our favorite cupcake. We reinforce children’s curiosity with observations and questions.

Literacy

Literacy curriculum focuses on connection between language and literacy.  Lessons are based on four components of early literacy: 

  1. Comprehension and vocabulary.

  2. Phonological awareness. 

  3. Alphabet knowledge.

  4. Concepts about print.

Literacy activities are embedded in play and explicitly taught during short lessons. Children are engaged in structured activities, such as art, music, story time and creative play time.

Science

Science curriculum is aimed to inspire child imagination and provide rudiments of scientific knowledge.  We pay attention to nature in our playground.  We reinforce children’s curiosity through fun tests, art, and discussion, and gradually children begin to understand the excitement of science around them.

Music Together in School

With Music Together, your child's music education will go far beyond singing songs once a week.

As a trained Music Together specialist, I will lead a music classes full of creative research-based music and movement activities. 

From jamming with friends at circle time, to a ritual song to start the day, to using a nature song as part of a science lesson, music becomes a seamless part of classroom life.

Music

Music education is a crucial part of the daily routine.  We devote a lot of time to music lessons.  Music is incorporated in all major activities throughout the day.  We learn through the song. Structured music lessons are divided into two parts:

  1. Music games, rhythmic chants / percussion instruments time.

  2. Songs and dance. As you know music benefits the development of the young brain.  Kids who grow up hearing music, singing songs, and moving to the beat are enjoying a rich sensory environment.  Kids who are actively involved in music, do better in reading and math when they start school; they develop better focus and control  of their bodies; they display excellent social skills and  high  self esteem
