Music + Arts Enrichment Programs - Semester Based
ume ume + umbini
for children ages 6 months - 2 years
The Ume Ume + Umbini Program is designed to let adults and their little ones wiggle, sing and learn together, for the ultimate bonding experience. Ume Ume + Umbini combines both classic and modern children's songs under the ume ume music + arts learning approach, as children along with their caregivers participate in song, story, creative movement/play, rhythms, instrument play, and various art + sensory activities. Each semester focuses on a particular theme introducing children to academic content and a variety of musical genres such as: Classical, World, Pop, Rock, Broadway, and Children songs in a fun, exciting way - while promoting healthy living and social development.
ume ume tots
for children ages 2 - 4 years
The Ume Ume Tots Program is designed for children between the ages of 2 and 4 years old. In this program, children 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 storytelling, 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 through various activities such as singing, shaking maracas, dancing to a rhythmic pattern, and painting a picture. Children enjoy producing sounds on instruments like the piano, guitar, and violin, as well as finding their own VOICE! Children also learn about the basic elements of art (line, shape, color, texture, and form) through activities that encourage 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.
