In short, mainly music is an opportunity for adults and young children to build memories and spend time together, sharing special time with each other the aim of mainly music.
The aim of mainly music is to provide an environment where young children develop skills to enhance their early education, through the use of music, rhythm, rhyme, and other music related activities with the participation of a parent or primary caregiver.
Each week, parents and caregivers bring their children for a thirty-minute session of music, rhyme, movement, listening and more. The adults must participate in the session, and in fact, it is vital that they do so, because this encourages the children to enter into the actions and singing.
At this session, adults and children are given snacks and refreshments. This allows time for children to enjoy each others company, and to develop social skills. It also allows those adults who don’t have a wide circle of friends to be introduced to others who have young children and they are therefore able to support each other.
As these programs tend to fill up rather quickly, you are encouraged to register your interest ASAP by calling Emma Segtnan on 0430 532 408 or sending a message via our Contact Us page on this website.
