Maestro Kindermusik Educator Yvette Odell with 6 year old graduating student, Cassie Miller

Holland MI – Yvette Odell has been recognized in the top 5% of Kindermusik educators world wide.

Odell is an early childhood specialist at Kindermusik of Holland. She has been teaching at Kindermusik in Holland for 12 years and has received the award each of the 7 years that it has been offered. The “Maestro” award recognizes educators for excellence and fast-growing programs.

Odell is one of over 5,000 licensed educators in the world who use Kindermusik’s music and movement curricula. She began teaching two Kindermusik classes in 1995 and in 1998 took over as director of the program here in the Holland area. Today the Kindermusik of Holland studio at Lakeway Plaza on Lakewood has 3 teachers and offers day, evening and weekend classes.

“Kindermusik is not only a fun activity for infants and children; it is an experience which affects the intellect as well. The brain develops and learning is affected in a joyful environment rich in sensory experiences. Activities that include the adults add to a child’s sense of security and that greatly enhances the cognitive experience.” says Odell. “The curriculum is excellently based in current research on the total development of the child.” Odell is very passionate about children and their development. She often speaks to local groups and at conferences.

“The Kindermusik Maestro has a mission: helping children become better learners and helping parents understand how to help them reach their highest potential,” said Michael Dougherty, CEO at Kindermusik International, based in Greensboro, NC.

The Maestro Program recognizes licensed Kindermusik educators who master one of three levels in early childhood development: fast-growing programs, outstanding community service, and teaching excellence.

Monday July 30, Odell will host a free music and movement storytime with the theme of Celebration! Call 616-392-7182 to join in.
