Open House and Registration going on now at Jin-A Childcare Center, 77 Jay Street, Clifton, NJ 07013 - Phone 201-279- 1203 or Wendy 201-641-4460.

Are you interested in something which nurtures the total development of children? The Kindermusik curriculum uses a developmentally appropriate curriculum to promote language skills, symbolic thinking, coordination, social interaction, and to awaken your child's imagination, to name but a few. The curriculum was designed by early childhood education and music specialists for specific age groups and developmental levels. Music is used to encourage early learning and creativity in children. Music is the means, not the goal (it is not a lesson to teach a child to play a musical instrument). Kindermusik never pushes a child to learn. Instead, Kindermusik appreciates and applauds children for who they are, allowing them to learn and develop at their own pace.

The goal is to make a child more eager to learn, more awake and wholly alive in the world.

Kindermusik classes involve children in singing and movement, chanting, playing simple instruments and listening purposefully. The natural creativity of a child's mind is stimulated in a learning environment where the emphasis is on process, not performance.

Finally, I firmly believe that Kindermusik offers what young children need and want in today's world-a joyful musical experience. A mother's quote: "It gives children a love of music for their whole life."

About the teacher: Hello, my name is Wendy. I am in love with Kindermusik and will be delighted to bring the joy of learning through music to your child. I learned piano as a child and am a self-taught guitar player. I have enjoyed music and making music since I was eleven years old. I also taught the guitar. I have a happy, lively- spirited personality. I hope to see you soon.

Open Houses are on Tuesday, Jan. 21, from 7:30pm to 8:30pm; Thursday, Jan. 23, from 7:30pm to 8:30pm; and Saturday, Jan. 25, from 10:30am to 11:30am and another from 12:30pm to 1:30pm.

Anyone interested please phone Jin-A 201-279-1203 and tell us which Open House you plan to attend along with the names and birthdates of children considering the program, and your name, address and phone number. Also, everyone is welcome to attend the open house, grandparents, siblings, but they must participate. It is not viable to have observers, but children may stay in the waiting room (office) accompanied by an adult (Jin-A's policy is that no child be left alone without adult supervision). Thank you for your cooperation.

Also, let us know how many adults and children will be participating so we may not be too squashed.
