King Moravian Preschool is proud to bring our kids Musikgarten of King. Research has shown that we are all born with an aptitude for music, but that aptitude diminishes if it is not actively nurtured between the ages of birth and nine.  In addition, research is revealing that developmentally appropriate music and movement experiences in early childhood enhance a child's growth and development in other ways over the course of a lifetime.

The Musikgarten classes offered by Musikgarten of King are designed to nurture a child’s musical aptitude by engaging children and their families in singing and movement activities which help attune the ear, refine the voice, and develop a rhythmic body through which music can be expressed. Additionally, instrumental activities are part of the program, ranging from playing simple rhythm instruments such as sticks and drums for babies and toddlers to playing keyboards for older children.

Musikgarten is the only program that offers curricula for newborns through group piano instruction. It is based on a keen understanding of how children learn, in both a general sense and, specifically, how they learn music.  We encourage you to contact us about scheduling a free visit to one of our classes so you can "see for yourself" the difference music can make.

Here at King Moravian Preschool we believe that children learn experientially.  We approach teaching by designing developmentally appropriate activities that take into account individual needs, the interest of the child, community concerns and spirituality.

The teacher's role is one of facilitator.  Our teachers create a nurturing environment in which the love of learning is fostered through process oriented activities with an emphasis on cooperation with peers, developing independence, enhancing motor skills, encouraging creative thinking and enhancing self esteem.  We encourage learning by using children's natural curiosity and creating an environment in which opportunities for investigation and choice making are provided.

We believe that through the use of community resources we can provide a more enriched environment.  Parents are a vital part of our community.  We welcome parents into our classrooms as observers at any time and encourage them to share their special interests and talents with us.

In keeping with the Moravian Church's extensive mission tradition, we will utilize an "Arts-focus" concept to emphasize cultural diversity while celebrating the unique human spirit.  The preschool will benefit from a rich menu of local artists as special visitors who can stimulate multicultural awareness through their particular art form or heritage.
