Music-oriented daycare centre
The primary purpose of music-oriented early childhood education is to arouse children’s interest in music. The objective of our music-oriented daycare centres is to provide children with musical experiences, capacities and skills as well as experiences of learning and success. The essential building blocks of our music-oriented education include songs, singing games, rhymes, playing instruments, musical movement and music listening activities. We also encourage the children to start longer-term musical hobbies.
In addition, our music-oriented daycare units naturally reserve time for other versatile activities, such as drama, trips, handicraft and painting, not to forget sufficient daily rest.
Music orientation in the daycare centre’s everyday life
The primary purpose of music-oriented early childhood education is to arouse children’s interest in music. Through music, children can express themselves, deepen their emotional life and enrich their imagination.
We design the daycare centre’s musical learning environment jointly with the children. The children are provided with opportunities to experience music, learning and success. We implement music-oriented education in the daycare centre’s everyday operation through singing, playing instruments, listening to music, reading rhymes, improvising, exercising and dancing among other activities. We provide the children with opportunities to participate in spontaneous music moments in connection with everyday activities. In addition, we cooperate with various music institutes and professionals.
