Willamette River Music Together Announces:


Oregon's First Music Together Preschool
I am pleased, and thrilled to announce the first Music Together Preschool in Oregon.

Starting in June Children's Hour Academy in Lake Oswego will become the first Oregon Music Together Preschool at their Jean Road Infant and Toddler Campus.

Music learning supports all learning. Music Together meets or exceeds 7 NAEYC standards!

Each family will receive 2 CDs, an illustrated and musically notated songbook which supports preliteracy as well as future musical study, and a Parent Guide DVD and booklet.

Children will have music as an ongoing element each day and a weekly class led by a registered Music Together teacher trained in both developmentally appropriate practice and skilled in leading participatory music activities

Classroom teachers will receive on-going musical mentoring and support led by the Music Together Specialist so that teachers can easily interweave music thoughout their weekly lessons and activities.

Each classroom will receive the Music Together Preschool Guide, Teacher mix CD, 3 sets of family materails that can be placed in the various activity centers.

Children's Hour Academy


A bit about Children's Hour Academy:

The Children's Hour Academy is a small private school with limited enrollment. Our classrooms are small, maintaining low teacher-to-child ratios. We are a child centered developmentally-appropriate program for infants through elementary school. This program facilitates positive growth and care for children. We are licensed by the state of Oregon and have our Private School Accreditation. Our Christian setting is non-denominational. We welcome children regardless of race, religion, color, national origin, sex, marital status of parents or special needs. Parents are encouraged to visit anytime.

Parents will be welcome to come and join in the Music Together classes.



Children's Hour curricullum and approach in educating young children blends nicely with the Music Together's "Research Based and Developmentally Appropriate" practices.

If you, or someone you know is looking for a really great preschool please forward this e mail and let Robin Van Houten and Briana King know that, "You heard it here!"

Since 1999 Willamette River Music Together has been offering parent child classes in Lake Oswego, West Linn, Tigard and Wilsonville.

Music Together LLC is a pioneer in early childhood music starting in 1987 in Princeton, NJ
