Music

mainly music!
The aim of mainly musicTM is to provide an environment where preschool children develop skills to enhance their preschool education through the use of music, rhythm, rhyme, and other music related activities with the participation of a parent or primary caregiver.

Once a week, parents and caregivers bring their children for a thirty minute session of music, rhyme, movement, listening and more. The adults must participate in the session, and in fact it is vital that they do so, because this encourages the children to enter into the actions and singing.


Any enquiries and bookings can be directed to Maxine at the office Tuesday - Friday mornings 9.30am - 12.30pm on 9809 0321. We do operate a waiting list and it is important that you contact us first to ensure we have a spot for you.We have a fantastic weekly attendance and the morning tea has to be seen to be believed. We are always happy to talk to anyone who would like to become involved in this ministry.
