Our Time

1.5 ~ 3.5 years

Our Time encourages your toddler to uncover an engaging musical world while building confidence, self-control and communications skills. Singing, imitating sounds, rhyming and object identification foster language skills. Creative movement to various musical “moods” develops a sense of balance, timing and spatial awareness. Listening and turn-taking encourage blossoming social skills.


The carefully structured curriculum incorporates the following features:

  • Development of pitch and rhythm
  • Singing and language development
  • Expressive movement
  • Auditory skills with different musical concepts
  • Literature and social development
  • School readiness preparation
