Classroom Favourites
In the classroom, we love to incorporate music into everything we do. Wether it be a dance party outside to get out our sillies while listening to our curated Daycare Playlist, a simple cleaning chant to help us get excited about cleaning or a music based game, we have options that can be always be brought into your home!
Our Spotify Playlist
Together with the children, we have curated a short playlist of songs that are all time favourites for the kids! Some songs are from movies, some are lyric led dances, and others are just songs that the kids LOVE!

How to Bring Music Home
In this link, you will find activities geared towards children from kindergarten to grade 2, though it is not only for children of these ages. These activities offer different ways for you to bring musical engagement and movement into your homes! You can also find links to information for older children (grades 3-5) on this site.

Music Makes Cleaning FUN!
We know how hard it can be to get children excited about cleaning, so we've started using the Clear Up Conga in our classroom to make it a little more fun! The music has a fun and jazzy beat to it with catchy lyrics that the kids love. Sometimes the kids will change the words depending on what they're cleaning, and it always puts a pep in their step while they clean!
