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.
