Money is a hard topic.

Some families look at the bottom line of the cost of a Kindermusik class and give up in a panic. I'm not so good at the hard sell but give me a chance to nudge you....from the perspective of the child.

A mom I know was asked why she didn't reenroll her daughter in Kindermusik.
She admitted that she LOVED my classes but she said sheepishly..."I was just too cheap".

Thank you for being honest. Can you blame me for offering other considerations?

What kind of investment are you able and willing to make for your children at a time when their brain's potential is the highest it ever will be? Are you willing to invest in a research based program that has been shown to make a difference in a child's performance in school?

And for a 15 week class $192 is a great value. You don't need to by any pink tutu's, special shoes or recital tickets.... or sell cookies, candy bars or pizza...(or buy them!) It's not fattening (Kindermusik is part aerobics for the adults!) It's great for your own commitment to reduce stress. It's a great way to be with your child.

The materials stay home with you and they don't stop being useful anytime soon. They are the oft requested CDs even of 10 and 11 year olds....(my daughter still LOVES them!)(Hey! I still love them!) The books are great for beginner readers and the instruments are sturdy and make great music for years to come.

But it still is expensive. And expenses are already a challenge and $192 is a big chunk for the budget.

Let's talk about a payment plan.

How about $82 now to enroll and $110 at the first class? (Classes begin the week of Sept. 10)
Or another option: $82 between now and the first class and $55 on Oct.10 and Nov. 10?

What about asking grandparents for Kindermusik Gift Certificates for birthdays and holidays? Beats the gifts that you are trying to sneak off to the Goodwill dropoff! Sometimes grandparents really want to be asked; they wish they knew! And it's a gift that keeps you thinking about them weekly!

Do you know that siblings get a $25 discount?
Did you know that if your baby hasn't had Village yet I have a $20 off coupon?
Did you know that if your baby is 5 months or younger (forget the coupon!) you can have 5 weeks tuition FREE?

Kindermusik averages out to be less than $13 per class.

Come on back. We've missed you.
Love,
Miss Yvette
