Music is filling the classrooms in two South Burnaby schools.  We are currently running weekly Music Together Preschool classes at the Morley Elementary preschool and the the Burnaby South Secondary Young Parents Program childcare center.  Both childcare programs are operated by Burnaby Family Life. 

Each week we share songs, movement, and instrument play activities with the children and the childcare staff following the Music Together Preschool curriculum.  We are also extending the experience to the children's families as all children have received take home materials.  We are happy to hear that younger siblings and parents are enjoying the songs, too!   

I have also noticed that the childcare staff are singing the songs with confidence.  I think they're hooked too!  The staff have been playing the recordings and sharing the songs through the week, long after music class has ended. 

The continuous exposure that the children are having to the music is creating growth.  I am observing that their interest in the songs is increasing every week and in turn their overall participation.  It's been a true joy seeing their enjoyment and witnessing how the experience is changing for them from week to week.  Each week I hear more voices singing out and a little more dancing!  I can't wait til we have our family event so we can all jam out together!
