Parent Six Week Courses

Boogie Mites have years of experience leading music courses for parents and their pre-school children. We understand that parents are a child’s first teacher and that music can provide an excellent vehicle for an enjoyable joint activity to be continued at home, therefore we have developed a range of six week courses that will engage parents and provide them with a fun and practical resource to encourage them to become actively involved in supporting their child’s development across all six areas outlined in the Early Years Foundation Stage, through music, with a particular focus on supporting  Speech, Language and Communication Development.

Running the Course

A Boogie Mites tutor will lead a course to cover any one of our three music and movement programmes, supporting a child’s development from birth to five, as outlined below. After this period a Children’s Centre can opt to send their practitioners on to a Boogie Mites Practitioner Training Course so that they can continue to run these courses themselves at the licensed setting.

Overview of Course Content

Engaging in music and craft activities (where age appropriate) over six sessions, the parents will leave the course with a good knowledge of the songs, how they will support their child’s development, a CD with all the songs of the Boogie Mites programme, supporting notes giving ideas of how to use the programme at home and for use with older children, plus any of the percussion instruments that they have made during the sessions.
