Lending Library while enrolled:
Also in studio lending library is now available for those registered/enrolled. Lending Library will have play sets, CD's, books mostly from KIndermusik International. Many of these activity kits, play set, CD's, activity books, etc - of the library are discounted (still safe of course) mostly because of limited use/interest- these can be signed out and brought back without a fee.
The Kindermusik materials that are included for use at home are high quality. Their safety standards are above those federally mandated. Their books & music & at home materials are available on line or in the physical. Kindermusik understands our world (especially tech) is in constant change so they work to provide options for the modern family. Kindermusik also recognizes the need and developmental need for the physical for children's learning so they offer well designed and made physical books, instruments, even some playsets. Books for babies are board books. Instruments are focused for both safety and development needs. And Kindermusik regularly updates their curricula, music, books, and instruments to not only for quality but also based on current science & society need.
You can see specifics about current themes and availability on social media and blog.
Materials available depend on the theme and curricula changes throughout the year. Kindermusik has more than 6 years of developmentally designed materials for children from birth to over 7 year olds. Exactly what materials go home also depends on the class/Level but you will receive a minimum of ... streaming access while registered/enrolled, 1 physical book & instrument per term to keep, professional resources (fliers or digital access).

If/when a child transitions to a small group or personalized lesson (usually 4 or older) they will start to receive home assignments with there own instrument (sticks/mallets, drum, resonator bars, glockenspiel, dulcimer, recorder); a reusable tote bag or backpack is also available so they can keep track of activities done at home to be brought back to class.
