Parent Perspective

This year marks the last year my sweet Isabelle will attend Kindermusik. She’s officially in Young Child 2 and will graduate in May. The first day of class was a bit surreal.

This summer I tried something new. Instead of stressing myself out by stacking more on my plate than I could handle, I kept it simple. Instead of signing each of my daughters up for a separate Kindermusik class we chose to go for the family class. Summers are full of trying to do all the

As my children grow up, I’ve begun to see their personalities change. My five-year-old is becoming her own person, forming a personality of her own.

by Beverly Smith, Kindermusik mom While we’re adjusting to a new normal, kids and adults alike are experiencing new difficulties and finding creative solutions. For my family, some difficulties are the loss of play dates, church gatherings and special family time with grandparents. We also greatly miss our friends from Kindermusik. Although most are things
