Getting parents involved
Boogie Mites music workshops create a friendly and supportive environment, which has been successful in engaging even the hardest to reach families. Independent evaluation demonstrates that Boogie Mites parent education courses support parent knowledge and confidence, enabling music activities to become embedded as a fun home learning activity and supporting early years development.
Research backed
There is a growing body of evidence to demonstrate the positive benefits of Boogie Mites parent education courses for both parents and children. We are very excited to share the latest report, by UK charity Achievement for All, which measured the impact of our virtual parent education classes in Summer 2020.

Testimonials
The communication from Boogie Mites has been excellent. I found the whole experience of working with Michelle an absolute pleasure. Michelle ensured that the families were all fully informed of what to expect from each session and gave them a clear outline of what they needed to do to support their children at home.
The children booked onto this course were referred by their pre-school as they were concerned re: speech and language. The overall programme allowed children to gain confidence. All parents showed increased scores for learning new skills on the wheel. Planning and consultation with Sue to arrange the course was efficient and straightforward.
I contacted Sue and we put a proposal together for 2 days of cluster training for Northumberland settings. Of the 50 practitioners attending across both training workshops, more than 95% felt that they had gained a better understanding of how music supports Letters and Sounds Phase 1, foundations for phonics.
