The ume ume tots class will develop language and artistic skills to build the foundation for the growing toddler. The semester theme enables children to experience a structured and focused learning approach integrating the arts and nurturing each child’s self-expression.
Storytelling is implemented in each lesson and offers children the invitation to be actively involved: to look, listen, and communicate by asking and answering questions about the story. Through story telling children strengthen their vocabulary, content knowledge, as well as introduce them to basic elements of a story (i.e. characters and setting).
Our ume ume tots program’s aim is to develop and refine the toddler’s fine and gross motor skills is exercised through various activities such as singing, shaking maracas, dancing to a rhythmic pattern, or painting a picture. Children enjoy producing sounds on instruments like the recorder, guitar, violin, and finding their own VOICE! Children also learn about the basic elements of art (line, shape, color, texture, and form) through activities that encourages the child’s own creative expression and enrichment.
The collaborative setting of our ume ume music + arts classes is beneficial to the developmental and creative process as we encourage and promote children to interact with both their peers and caregivers in a safe, creative, and entertaining learning environment.
