Learning Development through music

A helpful and friendly guide for parents and teachers who want to use music in early learning on purpose 🌟 Introduction: Why Music Is a Powerful Learning Tool If you've ever seen a young child get excited when a known song plays, you already know that music is magically powerful. Long before kids can speak in full sentences, they can sway, clap, babble, and follow melodies with amazing accuracy. As a parent and someone who used to teach young kids, I've seen a lot of babies

Hello, my name is Janerine Watson and I'm the mom behind Kids Songs Learning Hub . I've spent many afternoons with my three little ones using storytelling toys to turn simple baby rhymes into full-on adventures. When a finger puppet "climbs" up my arm during "Itsy Bitsy Spider" and my child laughs and tries to replicate every move, it's the best feeling in the world. It's not just fun; it's one of the best and most fun ways I've found to help them improve their verbal abiliti

I still remember the first time I saw the power of a simple toy in action. It wasn’t during my certified early childhood education classes or my time working with young children. It was on my living room floor with my youngest, who at two years old was struggling to communicate his feelings. He was about to lose it when he accidentally knocked over our ancient, somewhat broken xylophone. The soft, resonant dong it created halted him in his tracks. He stopped crying and starte

As a parent, not much makes your heart race and occasionally worry like watching your child learn how to talk in their early years. You rejoice when they grin for the first time, laugh when they babble, and can't wait for those magical first words. But what happens when those important dates seem to take a long time to get here?

Let's be honest for a moment. Being a parent in today's society feels like a never ending race against time, screens, and a long list of things to accomplish. We all want to know what the key is to raising happy, strong kids, and we frequently think it has to do with fancy vacations or pricey classes. But what if I told you that the magic is in the little things?   Kids don't need huge things to make them happy; they just need to spend time with you every day.   As a parent o

Hi, amazing parents! I’m Janerine — a mom, Certified Early Childhood Educator, nutritionist, and the creator behind Kids Songs Learning Hub. After thousands of hours in classrooms, countless messy kitchens, and one too many 3 a.m. wake-ups with my own kids (now 6 and 9), I’ve learned one powerful truth: the most effective  activities for parent and kid bonding  don't require fancy supplies or a perfect Pinterest setup. They simply require your full presence.

By Kellisha Johnson, Certified Early Childhood Educator For over 10 years, I've used  kids cooking activities  to help children build crucial skills in my classroom. It’s where confidence is baked and motor skills are stirred together, one recipe at a time. I’ll never forget the look on four-year-old Leo’s face in my classroom. He’d been struggling to hold a pencil, his little fingers lacking the strength and coordination. But when I handed him a ball of pizza dough during on

By Janerine, Mom and Creator of Kids song learning hub I remember how I felt: a knot of anger in my stomach as I watched my smart, creative daughter try to sound out a simple word for the sixteenth time. The flashcards looked like guns . My patient (and then not-so-patient) repetitions appeared to bounce right off of him.  she'd fidget, her eyes would glaze over, and we'd both cry at the conclusion of the lesson. I knew he was smart, but the way she was learning was keeping
