Social integration programs

Music classes in partnership with Music Together in Geneva Center

  • Music Together® is a recognized music and movement program. In the classroom and at home, children and adults participate in movement activities (finger plays, dance). In addition to contributing to the development of fine and gross motor skills, these activities help children develop other motor skills essential to physical development, such as bilateral coordination and spatial awareness.
  • The program follows a three-year curriculum, with a new collection of 25 songs every quarter (9 collections in all - over 200 songs). The strength lies in the idea of continuous, long-term learning.

Objectives

  • For children: development and reinforcement of their social, cognitive, motor and musical skills,
  • For parents: development and strengthening of social cohesion between families living in the same neighborhood.
  • Integration of disadvantaged families living in the Minoteries neighborhood.
