What your child’s day will look like
Music, Movement, Dance & Storytime with Teacher Jane on Mondays and Teacher Izzi on Thursdays. Come clap your hands, stomp your feet, and shake your hips to the rhythm and the beat! In the JAMaROO Kids Music & Movement classes, we’ll sing traditional songs and learn original ones too (many written by our own teachers). Our music curriculum has been developed to spark creativity and incorporate imaginative play. Each month, we’ll focus on a different seasonal curriculum that incorporates the use of puppets, books, and other props to maximize the educational experience and keep classes fun and exciting! Throughout the year, our teachers will use a variety of simple instruments and introduce children to different genres of music from around the world. Through movement activities, children will build gross motor skills, directly encouraging strength, balance, and coordination. Our teachers will use bean bags, scarves, shakers, rhythm sticks, and other equipment to make classes more interactive and hands-on. At JAMaROO Kids all of our music, dance, and yoga curriculum is developed to support and foster all five key areas of development: Cognitive, Speech & Language, Gross Motor Development, Fine Motor Development, Social and Emotional. This class includes: Music, Movement, Dance, and Storytime. This session, we will focus on fun on the Arctic, Dinosaurs, and the Enchanted Garden! This is a 6 week session for Monday classes, and 8 week session for Tuesday-Friday classes. Session package prices are adjusted accordingly. IMPORTANT DATES No Classes Monday January 20th for Martin Luther King, Jr Day No Classes Monday February 17th for President’s Day **You Are NOT Charged for classes in the session package for the weeks we have closures.**
Meet our instructors
Izzi Goldman
Instructor
Isabella (Izzi) Goldman joined JAMaROO Kids in 2024. Izzi has a background in studying music therapy at Loyola University New Orleans. Her experience working with children prior to joining JAMaROO Kids spans over 10 years and includes working as an after-care teacher, camp counselor, kindergarten aid, as well as managing and teaching at a children’s circus, dance, and theater studio. Izzi has sung her entire life, participating in her first musical at age 5. She has been classically trained as a vocalist since the age of 9. One of her most notable singing experiences was when she got the opportunity to sing with Kristen Chenoweth, the original Galinda on Broadway. Izzi is native to the Bay Area, being born in San Francisco and growing up in her teen years in Napa. In her free time, you can find her playing around with makeup, singing karaoke, making crafts and trying new recipes to cook. When Izzi was asked what she loves about teaching for JAMaROO Kids and working with children, she said, “Getting to watch a child’s confidence grow through music that you are teaching feels like magic. The sense of accomplishment and joy is contagious and fills my heart with happiness.” Fun Facts: Izzi loves the muppets and lives by the belief system that everyone is a combination of two muppets. For example, if Izzi was a muppet, she would be a mix of Miss Piggy and Fozzie Bear! Favorite Animal: Elephant Favorite Color: Sparkles Favorite Food: Any Form of Potato!
