How do I schedule my four classes?
You'll receive instructions for scheduling your four classes via our studio's self-scheduling calendar upon purchase of your Kindermusik Summer Flex Camp access. You can choose to make a reservation in the same class section weekly, or mix it up and try different days/times as long as they are within your purchased curriculum level. To see when classes meet for a specific curriculum level, please view our Class Schedule & Calendar (available from our main menu, under the Calendars tab). If something comes up and you need to reschedule a class, our self-scheduling calendar makes it easy to cancel a reservation. You can reschedule as long as it is within our summer camp access period of June 9th - July 5th. We cannot issue refunds or credits for unused or missed Summer Flex Camp classes. Cost is not based on attendance. Reservations are made on a first come, first served basis.
What are your health and safety protocols?
Our space and experience is designed with your family's safety and health in mind. We know that young children explore the world with their senses. All instruments and props used in class are safety-tested and developmentally appropriate for the age range listed in the curriculum description. Items are cleaned, disinfected, and maintained between classes so children can safely explore. Our classrooms are shoe-free environments (barefeet and socks are welcome) giving your child access to all the benefits of barefoot play while also ensuring that the space is clean and safe for floortime. Our community health agreement firmly requests that families stay home when children or adults are experiencing symptoms of contagious illness. We use HEPA filtration and increased ventilation practices to help prevent the spread of airborne illness. Our classroom is stocked with hand sanitizer, wipes, and tissues, and our restroom with a changing table and complimentary diapers and period products is accessible from within the classroom for hand washing whenever you need it.
What happens in a typical class?
All classes are 45 minutes in length and are led by a trained and accredited Kindermusik educator. Each level is designed specifically for the ages listed in the description and is rooted in our research-based curriculum crafted to nurture physical, social, emotional, language, and cognitive growth. A typical class includes: - Musical social rituals and transitions, such as Hello and Goodbye songs, lap bounces, fingerplays, and simple games. - Guided movement activities to support coordination, balance, strength, spatial awareness, and joyful social interaction. - Developmentally-appropriate instrument exploration to enrich auditory processing, curiosity, coordination, and steady beat. - Sensory play that is safely in proportion to your child's developing nervous system. - Dedicated rocking and relaxation time for co-regulation practice and music appreciation. - Support for emerging communication, early literacy, and receptive and expressive language skills through signing, singing, rhyming, reading, and repetition. - And more! You'll be welcomed into a community of caregivers in the same season of life and supported by our trained and accredited teachers who are experts in early childhood development.
What is the cost?
Cost for our Kindermusik Summer Flex Camp access is $82 per child. That's a $20 savings from the full price per class cost. We firmly believe that cost should never be a barrier to music education. That's why we offer sliding scale tuition. If purchasing our Summer Flex Camp option is not affordable for your family, we strongly encourage you to consider enrollment as an option for enjoying our classes instead. You can enroll and withdraw at any time of year with no minimum commitment. If you decide that our classes are not a good fit, let us know before the first of the upcoming month and we'll process a withdrawal. You'll continue to have access until the 1st of the month and your total investment is only your initial prorated tuition installment based on the sliding scale tuition selection you provide to us. Ask us for a quote. Depending on your selected tuition and your enrollment start date, most initial tuition payments are significantly less than the cost of our Summer Flex Camp.
"There is nothing I don't love about Pied Piper Studios...the friendly, always welcoming atmosphere, the care and love that each teacher expresses is beyond what I could have envisioned, the cleanliness, and the teaching opportunities constantly mixed in with fun... truly, I couldn't imagine a better place for my children to grow. And the fact that they are excited every time we pull into the parking lot tells me everything!"
