ABC Music & Me

ABC Music & Me an award-winning enrichment program for 2 to 6 year olds, was designed for early childhood learning centres, but can also be taught in a Kindermusik classroom.

ABC Music & Me is a research-based language and early literacy program built around music. ABC Music & Me helps develop pre-literacy and language skills through a child?s most-loved rituals: music and story-time.

ABC Music & Me supports the early childhood standards and requirements for ?high quality programs? as defined by the National Institute for Early Education. Plus for the older age group, ABC Music & Me aligns with pre-K national and state standards.

ABC Music & Me Spanish Home Materials -- addressing ELL (English Language Learners) -- are available. An increasing percentage of children entering school today come from families that speak little to no English at home.
