Boogie Mites parent education courses provide a great opportunity for joint learning for early years families. We 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.

Testimonials
Attending the programme has taught me that music builds confidence and improves social skills in children. It was fun to do and my daughter has enjoyed showing other family members what she can do.
The children are introduced to new vocabulary, rhyming words, rhythm, counting, sorting, teamwork, physical coordination, dancing and role-play in these lively and well structured sessions which keep the children and adults stimulated throughout.
The Family Learning workshop was wonderful and having the CD at home is a REALLY BIG help. My daughter especially loves her shaker, it was a lovely idea for them to make instruments for themselves.
