What to Expect:
  • Parents are highly encouraged to learn all the songs on the Curriculum CD, singing and repeating the songs and rhymes throughout the day with their baby. 
  • Parents will have the opportunity to watch their child and become expert observers to all the milestones of their own baby.This is truly a joy to watch! 
  • Parents will see their baby's develop strong musical skills such as rhythm, beat, memory and melodic pitch.

What is different with Suzuki Early Childhood Education (ECE):
  • Our programs are not franchised
  • Our program recognizes the importance of parent education and devote much time developing a partnership with parents to help them create a natural enriched learning environment in the home.
  • Our instructors are trained to foster ability while most traditional teachers use the 'teach and move on' approach (following a curriculum that is calendar driven)
  • Our instructors understand the potential for assisting parents in creating a rich musical environment before a baby is born and are convinced that the spirit of the child is formed as a result of his/her early environment. 
  • ECE program uses a constant curriculum over a three year period to ensure thorough mastery.
