music and movement
Dance and song
Music and movement is an educational approach, especially for young children, that combines listening to music with physical activity and dance.
The practice develops rhythm, coordination, and body awareness while making learning enjoyable.
It appears in preschool and early elementary curricula, where children might clap, march, or sway to songs.
The toddler class has music and movement every Tuesday morning.
