MEDIA ADVISORY:          Media invited to Suzuki Early Childhood Education class

What:             
The Aber Suzuki Center will open its Early Childhood Education class to members of the media on April 12. The class, which includes children from birth to age 4 and their parents, explores music and movement using the Suzuki philosophy “Every Child Can.”

“We are so excited to show off what the children have learned since the class began last July,” said Pat D’Ercole, the center’s director. “Our instructors, Marge Anderson and Judy Meyer, have really enjoyed working with the children using the Suzuki philosophy.”

The class allows children and parents to interact as they learn nursery rhymes and songs, learn to move to music and have story time. Children also learn to interact socially with other learners as they take turns, share toys and help with class routines. Within the framework of the Suzuki philosophy, parents learn to observe their child’s growth and the natural stages of child development, and also how to structure a positive, nurturing learning environment.

Parents have been notified and have agreed to have their children featured in photographs and video footage while in the class on April 12. In addition, both of the teachers and a parent of a student will be available for interviews.               

Where:           
College of Professional Studies, Room 126

When:            
Thursday, April 12, 5:30-6:30 p.m.
