Claudia's Corner
The JCC Preschool is back in full swing. Once again, the
classrooms are buzzing with the excitement of young children.
As our preschoolers arrive, they are all eager to meet new
teachers and friends, to explore and discover, to play, to par-
ticipate, to enjoy!
The beginning of school is always a special time for our
preschoolers. Our playtots children, the very youngest of the
school, are busy stacking blocks, pulling wagons, climbing lad-
ders and even painting for the first time with Mom right by their
sides!
Our 2fs, while adjusting to their separation from Mom (and for
many, this is their first time) are learning about themselves and
the others in the class through songs, finger play, photographs,
story routines, art experiences and play.
Our 3's and 4's are pros at preschool by now! They are elbow-
deep in playdough, paints, glue, sand, water, blocks,
manipulatives and just about anything else you can think of!
Units on "self and family" and "friends" throughout the
school are helping children feel good about themselves and ease
into the school year happily.
Guests at the North and Main Branch visiting days found our
rooms displayed with housekeeping corners, block corners, art
centers, book areas, listening centers, writing tables, science
tables, toys, manipulative areas and more. And let's not forget
our rabbits, fish and gerbils favorites of our preschoolers!
Parents, teaches and children were able to meet for the first
time, and it was a positive and pleasant initial experience for our
children.
Our new Judaic program is off to a great start. With Rosh
Hashanah and Yom Kippur around the corner, all classes are in-
volved with related holiday activities. Thanks to Morah Tammy
for helping our children and teachers experience holiday through
songs, games, art projects, stories and cooking.
Our afterschool enrichment program is better than ever.
Science, cooking, bookworms, super sand, fitness, music and
drama are only a few of the classes we are offering. Check the
Community Center's bulletin for our next session's schedule Oct
16-Dec. 11.

Introducing the
New and Exciting
KINDERMUSIK
Music For the Very
Young
Kindermusik is a specialized
program of music learning and
enjoyment that has been
designed for Preschool
children and which was
developed about 20 years ago
by a team of musicians, child
development specialists and
child psychologists.
The goal of the Kindermusik
program is to assist in the total
development of the child. With
this in mind, the in-class ac-
tivities are designed to pro-
mote language development,
symbolic thinking, and large
and small motor skill develop-
ment, while awakening the
child's musical imagination.
The children enrolled in
Kindermusik classes meet in a
class of 10-12 students for a
one-hour lesson each week.
The class activities are varied
and well-paced to hold the
children's attention.
The curriculum is spread
over a two-year period con-
taining four semesters. The in-
tention is that the child who
graduates from the Kinder-
musik program has been
prepared for the study of an
instrument.
The director of the Kinder-
musik program is Judith
Cataldo, who is the
founder/director of the Florida
Keyboard Arts Center. Ms.
Cataldo has degrees from New
England Music and the
University of South Florida.
She has taught music at the 1
Manhattan School of Music as
well as at Brooklyn's Conser- i
vatory of Music. ,
Children in the program
receive a music primer, a
notebook, a German-made
Glochenspiel, a bag to carry
materials in, and colorful
stickers.
