VAAEYC Platinum Partner
My Music Starts Here
Developmentally appropriate music is the pathway for social-emotional learning, language acquisition and early literacy skills for young children. When early childhood educators partner with My Music Starts Here, they gain access to a vibrant collection of developmentally appropriate songs, fingerplays, steady beat activities, movement activities, and more – all taught and modeled by Music Mary and special guests, including puppets!
Our educator partners gain the confidence to use music often for planned and spontaneous instruction, while building positive, playful relationships with their students in a joyful classroom community.
Check out this wonderful workshop My Music Starts Here presented for the VAAEYC Central Chapter!
