Rock ‘n’ Kids

Rock 'n' Kids is proud to have provided the Tot Rock and Kid Rock in person programs since 1995, and is now excited to offer virtual classes as well! All components of Rock 'n' Kids programs work together to achieve the overall goal:

“To provide a fun and educational environment for young children to learn about themselves and the world around them through music.”

Music/Rhythm: These activities include songs and rhymes, instrument play and an introduction to rhythms, sounds, tempos and counting.
Movements: This involves work on coordination, fine and gross motor skills, basic dance steps, and body and space awareness.
Imagination: The imagination activities glue the curriculum together, which involves learning through play.
Socialization: Children learn about interacting in a group, following directions, sharing, and taking turns, while gaining independence and self-confidence.
Sensory Integration: Engaging with sensory items like bubbles, feathers and pom pom balls facilitates exploration, and encourages children to use scientific processes to create and investigate.

Studies show that children who grow up hearing music, singing songs, and moving to the beat enjoy what experts call "a rich sensory environment." That environment helps them do better in reading and math when they start school, improve their focus, play better with others, and have a higher self-esteem! What better way to start your child off on the right “foot” than with a Tot Rock or Kid Rock class!

What the Parents Say!

"Kid Rock is such a fun, energetic program! My daughter started in Tot Rock and worked her way up to Kid Rock II. Kid Rock has helped improve her coordination and imagination. I highly recommend this class for all preschool-age children!" ~Kathy, Crystal Lake

"Tot Rock is a wonderful introductory class for toddlers! The activities are presented in a fun, safe, nurturing environment. My son loved the sensory component of the program and enjoyed playing with the other children!" ~Sarah, Downers Grove

"I feel comfortable attending your in-person classes with my 2 year old because of how you have been running your classes with limited number of children, social distancing, cleaning protocols, and each child receiving their own set of instruments. We feel safe and have fun at the same time!" ~Victoria, Elgin

"Rockin' at Home virtual classes are a wonderful way for children to enhance body awareness and movement while learning. These classes gave us happiness, energy and BRIGHTENED our days!" ~Jan, Schaumburg
