    Zumbini® Is​ Session-Based, This Is Why It Matters

    / March 19, 2019

    One of the questions asked most frequently about Zumbini® is why we don’t offer drop-in classes. Why is Zumbini® only offered as a session-based class? One of the most important reasons Zumbini® is only offered in a session-based format is because young children learn best from consistent repetition. Children do love one-off experiences, don’t get me wrong, but if we…

    Have you ever heard the phrase, “crossing the midline”? Unless you are familiar with the way young children’s brains develop, it’s probably a new phrase for you. (And that’s ok!) It is arguably one of the most important parts of a child’s development. It may be one of the most overlooked skills too. Why is this such an important concept…

    Learning In My Own Way- How Little Ones Learn During Circle Time

    / February 26, 2019

    Ever notice that when the adults sit in a circle for an activity that’s the time the toddlers start running? It doesn’t matter if we’re reading a favorite book or singing the best song in the world, as a little person, this seems to be the best time to get up and run. But does that mean they aren’t learning?…

    How Repetition In Zumbini Effects Young Children’s Development

    / February 19, 2019

    Have you ever noticed how your little one loves doing something over and over again? Even if drives you crazy, they will ask to read the same book, to hear the same song, or to play the same game again and again! When young children use repetition, they are learning and refining new skills their growing brains need every day.…

    Exploring Drums In Zumbini

    / February 5, 2019

    Drums are one of the most natural instruments for young children because of the simplicity to create sound. Just moving their hand onto another object creates a sound whether that object is a drum head, pots and pans, or a high chair tray.  Anything can be a drum! When drums are introduced in Zumbini, we want the children to enjoy…

    Sticks can be one of the most versatile instruments your little one will ever play.

Wooden spoons, pencils, chopsticks, tree limbs, anything can be a musical instrument! Tapping sticks uses many skills all at the…
