Montessori Infant/Toddler Teacher Training Early Childhood Music Training
Join Cambridge's early childhood innovation center. Imagine a place where children are encouraged to make mistakes, two-year-olds are learning how to play the violin, and teachers are encouraging children to explore the limits of their potential. Rock and Roll Daycare is a music based early childhood innovation center for children ages 0-6. We seek to create an environment where children engage in planned and improvised musical activities everyday, enjoy the freedom of an extended work period each day, and where parents can observe their child's classroom from the convenience of their cell phone. Children are encouraged to explore a specifically prepared, child sized environment at their own pace, while also participating in a range of music and arts based activities such as extended music classes every day with one of our five specialists, one-on-one private music lessons, monthly family engagement event, and various field trips throughout the year. Now with five locations in East Cambridge, Lechmere, and Central Square, Cambridge Crossing and Porter Square, Rock and Roll Daycare is one of New England's fastest growing learning centers and most sought after in the Cambridge area.
