MUSIC THERAPY FOR CHILDREN AND FAMILIES
Music Therapy for Children and Families
We love working with young children and their families – watching babies grow and develop, hearing toddlers sing their first songs, seeing big kids all ready for school and supporting families through these precious years.
School Bell Bop – Our Program for Childcare Centres and Preschools
This is our school readiness program. Children preparing for big school can learn important skills through music that will equip them for this next step in their development.
Big school is a big step! Bells, teachers, lots of children, books, reading, writing, playground, classroom, there’s so much to get used to. Our school readiness program will help prepare your children by practicing skills like listening, following instructions, turn taking, sharing, and communicating with others.
Activities that provide a foundation for learning letters, numbers and words will also be used. This program is aimed at giving your children the confidence they need to step into big school.
All sessions are conducted by a Registered Music Therapist, who will use research-based methods to give your children the skills they need to tackle this big milestone in their lives.
We arrange to come to your centre at a time and day that suits your programming – we supply all instruments, and we’re also happy to incorporate any resources you have at your centre. Your educators will also learn valuable skills through our Registered Music Therapists that they can use in their future programming.
At Newcastle Music & Art Therapy, we’re all about creating a space where everyone feels welcome and valued. We are a neuroaffirming practice, proudly support people with disabilities, LGBTQIA+ folks, and Indigenous peoples.
It’s important to us that everyone feels included, heard and seen. We’re here to break down barriers, celebrate our differences, and make sure everyone can be themselves and shine.
Newcastle Music & Art Therapy operates on Awabakal country. We acknowledge the Awabakal people as the traditional custodians of the Warners Bay region and pay our respects to Awabakal elders past and present.
We are committed to a positive future for the Aboriginal community.
