Why is it important to take Art & Music Sprouts together?

The first five years of life are some of the most important for brain development.

  • Young children learn best through movement, sensory experiences, repetition, and play.

  • Music and art naturally strengthen these learning pathways.

  • These aren’t simply enrichment activities, they are building blocks for lifelong learning.

Every song, every paint stroke, every dance, every messy masterpiece is helping your child develop skills they’ll use for years to come.

90% of the brain develops between 0-5

Learning Through Rhythm, Movement, & Song

Children will:

  • move their whole body

  • interact with caregivers

  • practice listening

  • play musical games

How Music Helps Your Child Grow

  • Songs strengthen listening skills, vocabulary, speech patterns, and early language pathways.

  • Rhythm helps develop pattern recognition, sequencing, memory, and neural connections that support future academic learning.

  • Movement activities improve:

    • balance

    • coordination

    • body awareness

    • spatial awareness

  • Music naturally teaches children to:

    • calm their bodies

    • express emotions

    • transition between activities

    • regulate excitement

    The predictable class routines also help children feel safe and confident.

  • Children practice:

    • taking turns

    • following directions

    • participating in groups

    • interacting with peers

    • connecting with caregivers

  • Children begin learning:

    • steady beat

    • loud vs. soft

    • high vs. low

    • fast vs. slow

    • rhythm

    • expressive movement

    These become the foundation for future music education.

Learning Through Creativity, Exploration, & Discovery

Children experiment with:

  • creating sculptures

  • natural materials

  • sensory experiences

  • Art strengthens:

    • pencil grip

    • hand muscles

    • finger strength

    • bilateral coordination

    • early writing readiness

  • Children learn there isn't always one "right answer."

    They begin making choices about:

    • colors

    • materials

    • techniques

    • ideas

    This builds imagination and independent thinking.

  • Every art experience encourages children to ask:

    "What happens if I try this?"

    Children naturally develop:

    • experimentation

    • flexibility

    • persistence

    • critical thinking

  • Children explore:

    • textures

    • weight

    • resistance

    • temperature

    • color

    • shape

    These experiences strengthen sensory processing and early scientific thinking.

  • Many art activities naturally introduce:

    • cause and effect

    • sequencing

    • engineering

    • construction

    • observation

    • material science

    Without children even realizing they're learning.

How Art Helps Your Child Grow

Anne Berg has been teaching preschool music since 2024. She is certified in both Music Together and Suzuki Early Childhood Education.

A classically- and jazz-trained flutist, she graduated from Bowling Green State University after studying with Suzanne Thierry. She has performed as a soloist, as well as part of small, chamber, and large ensembles. She has taught flute privately and in group settings for over 30 years. She has directed both high school and adult level flute choirs, and is a member of two performing flute choirs in the Cincinnati area.

Her other musical interests include singing and experiencing music from many different cultures. She has studied Irish flutes, shakuhachi, bodhran, and gamelan. Her very favorite, though, is playing trios and duets with her sons: a violist, a bassist, and a cellist.

Outside of music, you’ll find Anne trying new recipes, taking bike rides, reading, and knitting. She loves spending time with her husband and three sons, getting together with friends to play games and talk about books, and seeking out the best coffee shops in Cincinnati.
