Come join KiDSCOR on Wednesday nights!

Elementary students will love our new Wednesday night program created just for them called ZONE. Kids will come together and make new friends and grow in their love and understanding of Jesus through worship, games, and snacks. Join us on Wednesdays from 6:15-7:45!

Students will be divided into three distinct age groups based on grade, K-1, 2-3, and 4-5. Each group will be custom designed for its' age group and offer unique experiences for the kids.

A family meal will be offered each week before ZONE. Join us at 5:30 pm in The Foundry. Cost is $5 per person and children in 5th grade and below eat free!

There is no fee to come to ZONE but we would love for you to register to help us with our planning. Children do not have to attend every week; just come when you are able! Feel free to invite a friend whenever you’d like! REGISTER KIDS FOR ZONE!

2018-19 school year enrollment going on now!

KiDSCOR Early Learning Program is an early childhood education program designed for children ages 2-5. It is supportive of each child's spiritual, physical, social, emotional and cognitive growth.

The High Scope early childhood curriculum is implemented in the program. Through a variety of developmentally appropriate experiences in art, music and movement, science, literature and math, children learn what they need to know and be able to do to be successful lifelong learners.

Our emphasis is on helping each child discover his/her interests and abilities. The teaching staff provides a warm, nurturing environment where each child can grow in confidence knowing that she is safe and loved. Classes are large enough to provide children with opportunities to make friends, and small enough to give each child individual attention.

Learning what it means to be a Christian is incorporated into weekly chapel times and throughout the school day as teachers expose the children to prayers, Bible stories and songs. Christian principles are woven into the fabric of every day and every interaction among children and adults.

Encourage early learning and creativity in your children through the sheer joy of music and movement. Kindermusik allows children to explore the world in a secure, stimulating environment, filling them with a sense of curiosity and the delight of self-expression.

Enroll in Winter classes now! To enroll late in our current semester, please email Jenny Nehrbass for an enrollment link and the pro-rated fee.

Each week in class we combine your preschooler’s natural love of music, storytelling, and imaginative play with age-appropriate activities that introduce early music concepts and foster independence, social and emotional skills, language growth, and self-control. We also connect you with other parents who share in the wonder of parenting a preschooler. Parents join class for the final activities.

The Kindermusik home materials bring the music, activities, and each month’s story everywhere you go. The repetition enhances the learning—and the fun!

Young Child prepares the young child who is eager for first experiences with musical symbols and instrument discovery but is not yet ready for formal lessons and traditional music reading with an instrument. It is grouped into four 15-week semesters. While each semester builds on the previous, there is sufficient review for new students to be added each semester.

Enrollment includes developmentally appropriate curriculum for children ages 5 to 7 years in a 60- to 70-minute class (caregivers attend the last 10-15 minutes). One set of Home Materials comes with a children’s folder with stickers and Music At Home cards, Family Songbook, instrument (wind, string, or pre-keyboard instrument depending on the semester), CD of music from class, canvas bag (during first semester) and games bag.

Here's what a parent and child will experience in class:

• Singing and vocal development — It may sound like a foreign language when a child sings “ta” and “ti-ti,” but this is the language of professional musicians and composers and getting young children ready to read and write simple rhythm patterns.
• Movement — See children dance expressively to music, giving them the practice they needs to coordinate their body movements to the sound of music. This kind of musical play not only improves musicianship, but physical coordination as well.
• Reading and writing — Young children will learn melodic notation and identify pitches such as the C, A, and D notes on the treble clef, plus rhythmic notation. Eventually even composing their own music.
• Focused listening — Children will learn to identify a range of orchestra instruments and their sound qualities, while also gaining an early awareness and knowledge of composers and masterworks in Western arts tradition.
• Exploring and playing musical instruments — Authentic percussion, string, pre-keyboard, and woodwind instruments expose children to the many choices for future musical study, and at the same time provide them with the opportunity to musically succeed before taking on more formal instruction.

Class times for Level 5:

• Wednesdays @ 4:15 pm: Jenny Nehrbass (begins January 16)

• Mondays @ 10:15 am: Pam Sabolovic
• Wednesdays @ 6:15 pm: Jenny Nehrbass
