As many of you already know, Kindermusik's new home, Jazzberries Center for Music & Art, is up and running and we have been very busy! Besides the full Kindermusik curriculum, we are offering Art Garden classes, Infant Massage, Theatre Classes, Young Composers Workshop and a Children's Chorus.
And coming in November is "Giochiomo in Italiano / Let's Play in Italian!", Italian language play groups for children and families. You can call to get yourself on a pre-registration list for these classes.
And in a new twist on our Drop-In Art is "Messy Mondays" - a fun-filled, playful exploration into all things messy, where you can drop in, make a mess and leave the clean-up to us. Old clothes are definitely recommended! "Messy Mondays" are offered on Mondays, from 10:30 - 12:30. On Monday afternoons, from 4:00 - 6:00, is "Artsy Afternoons", where the school-aged child can drop-in for a different art project each week. Come for one week or come for them all. You can drop in, with no advance reservations. The cost is $12 a visit, or you can buy a 10-visit card for $100. There will be no drop-in art when there is no school. (We follow the Maplewood/South Orange school system. Call ahead if you're not sure.)
However, when school is out, Vacation Camp at Jazzberries is in. What it is: Music, art, dance, cooking, theatre, science, puppets, gardening, & more! Vacation Camp is for ages 5 to 10 years. Full day (10:00-3:00 / $50.00) or half-day (10:00-12:30 / $30) options are available. In addition, if school is in session for only a half-day, enrichment is offered from 1:00-3:00 for $25/day. Advance registration is recommended. Fall classes will start the week of September 15th, except for "Family Time" and "Sign & Sing" classes which will start the week of October 13th.
We also offer many different Birthday Party options and services. And be sure to stop by and check out our retail music and art shop which carries CDs, books, notecards, instruments, toys and more!
