Please excuse our mess!

Please excuse our mess. We are renovating the Cambridge studio to serve you better. Why?

In times like these, we believe the businesses that rise to the top are those that put their customers first even when money is tight. We know that our customers are going to LOVE the improved traffic flow we've implemented, the more spacious waiting area (which we've renamed "The Gathering Room"), the dedicated childrens' play corral, the soothing colours and leather couches, as well as our new Kindermusik store, which will feature all those fun and educational musical toys, books and CDs, you've been asking for--year round. It's not finished yet, but will be soon. We're so excited for you to see it, to use it, to relax and build community while you are with us. This is YOUR place to hang out! Photos coming soon...

New to Kindermusik? Call us for a FREE preview...519-622-5702
It's as little as $12 per class and we have payment plans to suit any budget, as well as funding available for low income and children with special needs.

99% of Kindermusik parents recommend this program to other parents*. Here's what they're saying this semester...

This is not a shallow preschool activity - this is education based on real principles. The quality and level of teaching is more than I expected. It is wonderful! The atmosphere is so gentle and fun.

I think all families should experience Kindermusik. I mention it to anyone that I talk to about taking a preview class if unsure about the program or the response of their child. I am proud to be involved with Kindermusik and to have my daughter attending classes.

Kindermusik is the most powerful tool to help your child's brain develop while creating a special bond within the family.

I have enrolled all three children in Kindermusik since they were 12-18 months of age. I have faith in the program and have done the curriculum myself 3 times!!!! It is still exciting to see how various teachers present the information so differently yet with the same professionalism and caring. I have had my children in 3 different studios (all for scheduling purposes) and have never been disappointed in the quality of education that my children (and myself) have received.

I recommend Kindermusik to my friends because of the quality of the content of the program, excellent instructors, and the link between music, math, reading, motion, and spatial perception.

It is the one activity my children have always enjoyed and stuck with over the years.

What are you waiting for? Sign up today!

Fall Registration Has Begun!

Registration for Fall 2009/Spring 2010 has begun! Here are your instructions to register online. Please read carefully to ensure accuracy. We apologize if this is not quite as EZ as it should be. We appreciate your patience as our online enrollment system goes through its growing pains. We are expecting EZ-Enrol 2.0 to be released sometime in the next 6 months and it promises to be truly EZ, especially when it comes to accepting installment plans and 2 semester registrations. At the moment, it does not, so we want to make sure you are able to do so, if that is your preference. If you have any questions or concerns, please do not hesitate to call our office at 519-622-5702.

If registering for the Fall 2009 semester only, you can pay online in full, or a $60 deposit at time of registration with the balance applied on your first day of class. EZ-Enrol accepts Visa, MasterCard, Discover or American Express. You may also choose to pay by cash or cheque, but if so, please see “Payment Plan Options”, below. Note: Please be sure that you are selecting the correct semester or your space will not be guaranteed, as you will be added to the wrong class roster.

PAYMENT PLAN OPTION FOR FALL SEMESTER ONLY
If you prefer to pay by cash or cheque, or would like to pay in 4-installments (by credit card or post-dated cheques) please select “cash” or “cheque” when registering online and provide payment details to the office by April 30th to save your space.

TWO-SEMESTER REGISTRATIONS (Promotion Code: 2SEM10)
If you would like to register for both the Fall 2009 and Spring 2010, please be sure to enrol for the Fall Semester and the Spring Semester by selecting a class day/time for each of these semesters for each child. If you choose to pay online with Visa, MasterCard, Discover or American Express, payments will be applied as follows: $60 deposit per semester per child and balance due on the 1st day of each semester. Registering for 2 semesters at once guarantees your space in the spring and saves you $20 per child. To receive this discount, you must enter the promotion code, above, when prompted.

PAYMENT PLAN OPTION FOR FALL AND SPRING SEMESTERS
If you prefer to pay by cash or cheque, or would like to pay in 4 or 6-installments (by credit card or post-dated cheques) please select “cash” or “cheque” when registering online and provide payment details to the office by April 30th to save your space.

We would like to take this opportunity to thank you for using EZ Enrol, if you have any questions or concerns, please feel free to contact the office. For our families who do not have internet access, we invite you to call or stop by the office and we will be happy to submit your registration online on your behalf.

We realize you have many choices when it comes to activities for your child and we greatly appreciate your choosing Kindermusik.

Kindermusik of Cambridge/KW makes Maestro Status for the 8th Year in a Row!

We are pleased to announce that the Fall 2009 Schedule of Classes at Kindermusik of Cambridge/KW is now finished and will be available for viewing on April 15th.

It’s an ambitious schedule—8 additional classes in Waterloo and 9 in Cambridge. However, we feel really good about what we’ve put together. It addresses the numbers of children moving up in each curriculum, as well as many of the requests we been hearing from parents about where we are lacking in terms of concurrent classes and more options for working parents. We’ve taken into account all of your feedback from the recent surveys from Kindermusik Int’l and are ready to implement so many great ideas to make this program better than ever!

But, we need your help. The only way we will be able to provide all these additional times and options for families will be if we can spread the word to more families that Kindermusik is the single best choice for a child. In this economy, advertising doesn’t cut it. What does work is hearing the message from a trusted friend.

Are you a promoter of Kindermusik? If so, perhaps you would be willing to talk to another parent who may be sitting on the fence about signing up? A parent with a shy or rambunctious child needs to know how Kindermusik has made a difference for your child, with its joyful and nurturing environment providing a safe haven for emerging personalities. What about a parent who doesn’t “get” the mind-body connection that Kindermusik provides, helping children develop in all areas, particularly those having to do with sports—a sense of timing, coordination, balance and self-confidence. What about the parent who does not appreciate the importance and value that our home materials provide—extending the lessons into the home every single day, making Kindermusik so much more than a once-a-week class.

Please share your Kindermusik “successes” with others. For every family that registers because of your referral, we will be delighted to reward you with a $5 credit to your account—and there is no limit to the number of $5 credits you can accumulate. One parent received $50 off last semester! You can, too. I know you recommend the program already. Make sure anyone you recommend it to drops your name when they register.

Do you have a business that we could cross-promote with? (If so, let me know!) Can we display each other’s promotional material at our locations? Sure! And for every promoter who is willing to put a Kindermusik lawn sign on their property and/or a virtual bumper sticker on their website, blog or Face Book page, we will happily apply another $5 credit to their account. We extend a 10% discount to Toyota families. We would love to do the same for your company employees in exchange for your continuous recommendation of Kindermusik.

Whether it’s twirling under a sea of scarves, experimenting with age-appropriate instruments, singing about a scampering squirrel, creating a musical ensemble, or snuggling in your lap during story time, Kindermusik speaks your child’s language and offers her (and you!) the best music and movement class available.

Your priority registration for the Fall Semester will begin April 15th. Registration will open up to the general public on May 1st. Please let your friends know we have a space for them, but if they wait until the last minute, the class of their choice may be cancelled due to low enrolment or it may be full. Please register early to avoid disappointment.

Did you know that for the 8th year in a row, Kindermusik of Cambridge/KW has been awarded with the prestigious “Maestro” award, recognized for exceptional service and reserved for the top 1% of programs worldwide? We couldn’t have done it without YOU. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts for your continued support! It is our deepest joy to make music with you and your children each and every week.

Happy Easter from all of us!
