Kindermusik Foundations

The Foundations class is so much more than lullabies and swaying. We teach families how sound exploration, listening activities, and dances help babies communicate, stimulate eye-tracking skills, and learn to move and coordinate new muscles.

 
  • Movement Control
    Different movement activities help babies strengthen their core muscles, which increases their sense of balance and control over movements.
  • Social Adaptability
    Group activities allow babies to experience familiar and unfamiliar social experiences in a safe and secure way.
  • Listening and Communication Skills
    Listening to music and doing vocal play exercises helps develop a baby’s back-and-forth communication skills.
  • Language and Literacy Development
    Introducing spoken sounds and rhythms through songs and rhymes helps support language and literacy development.

Growing up, every special occasion was celebrated with music—my dad on the guitar, mum on the piano, and my two siblings and I singing and playing the recorder. Some of my most treasured memories are from performing in our church choir, where I felt the joy and energy music can bring. After university, I spent five incredible years flying as a cabin manager—an experience that deepened my love for connecting with people from all walks of life. But it was the birth of my son Matteo that awakened another part of me: a deep love for children and early childhood development. Becoming a Kindermusik Educator has allowed me to bring all my passions together—music, connection, and child development. This program has been a safe, joyful space for my three children to grow and thrive. It’s where I now have the privilege of witnessing countless unforgettable moments between parents and their little ones. Kindermusik isn’t just a program for me—it’s a part of my parenting journey, a calling, and one of my greatest passions. I'm so grateful to share it with so many families here in Abu Dhabi.
