Classical Music

Students will learn to count to 20 to the melody of Beethoven's Ode to Joy and learn to write capital letter A with Ravel's Boléro as accompaniment. This exposure to classical music is so subtle and so rich that students will only recognize it when they hear the same songs outside of the program.

Multicultural

It's not often that kindergarten students can come and talk about precipitation and evaporation, vertebrates and invertebrates, but with the Waterford program those are terms that keep popping up. It is fun to see those little faces light up when they work with Waterford!
