Music Fun Time Classes Now Registering

Incorporating math and music science techniques, your young child will learn to read music and play instruments. Call us at 580-256-3262in Woodward or 580-747-4799 in Enid. New classes starting in January. 

Are All Preschools Really The Same?

A preschool is a preschool, right? When comparing, almost all of them have great teachers or they would not be there. All teach your child to count to 20, say their ABC's by rote (or song), learn their basic colors, animals, shapes etc, etc.

But if you are wanting more for your child than that, check out our academic program, Move-N-Learn Academy. At MNL, our child will learn everything they learn at all other preschools and pre-k programs. But they also will learn MORE and that is a promise!

At MNL, your child will have computer time each day they attend. It is here that the students work with (well, they are having such a great time they think it is play) phonics based software to start an early reading, writing and math education. They also will learn French, Spanish, Music Theory, Art and more in the lab. AND they start their journey at becoming a computer expert.

At MNL, your child will receive physical education that includes physical literacy and not just running around the play yard ( but we will not tell them it is physical literacy because they are having so much fun!) They will participate in group gymnastics, group dance, group music instruments, art projects,science projects, history projects. And yes they will have circle time and centers just like the other preschook/pre-k programs out there.

MNL is not a daycare provider. But we do so much more in so much less time, we think you would be amazed! Check out Move-N-Learn Academy today!Learn more by going to our Move-N-Learn Academy Blog

What Music Should I Allow My Young Child To Listen To?

This is a question that we hear very often. But we also hear from the parents how proud they are that their children know the lyrics of some very adult songs as well.

Music lyrics are another form of language. A language that children pick up very quickly due to it being connected to music. Just like you would be selective as to what the language  usage is in movies that your children watch, you probably should be careful as to what songs are playing on the radio in the car going down the road. Just when we think they are not listening, they generally are.

Music for children abounds the market in the stores and by digital download. But even though some profanity has been removes, parents need to listen closely to the meaning of the lyrics. Ever wondered where your child "got that?". Check the music that YOU are listening to.

Music should be age appropriate, entertaining and have a learning situation attached to it. But don't forget to introduce a few of the classics and music that is instrumental and calming as well.

Yes, there are many options for music for your children. And most parents make wise decisions in selecting their child's music that they intend to allow their children to listen to. It is when, as adults, we have adult music playing for our own enjoyment that we forget about the child size ears and brains that may be listening too.

For more information regarding ways of selecting music for your young children to listen to, we suggest this PBS site article:
