Move & Groove (Level 4)
Kindermusik's "Move & Groove" is an award-winning enrichment program for preschoolers. It is a research-based language and early literacy curriculum built around music. This curriculum helps develop pre-literacy and language skills through a child's most-loved rituals: music and storytime. "Move & Groove" supports the early childhood standards and requirements for "high-quality programs" as defined by the National Institute for Early Education. Plus, it aligns with pre-K national and state standards.
