Did you know that learning numeracy through rhymes and music offers many
benefits for children?

1. Engagement and motivation
Music captures children’s attention and makes learning fun, encouraging them to participate. Whether you’re sitting beside them and counting on their fingers, or if you’re at mainly music and they’re standing at the front holding a prop, children are inspired to join in and have fun while they learn.

2. Memory enhancement
Rhythmic patterns and melodies help improve memory, making it easier for children to recall numbers and counting sequences.

3. Reinforcement of concepts
Songs and rhymes often repeat numbers, counting and subtraction, reinforcing numeracy concepts in a memorable way - whether there are cheeky monkeys jumping on a bed, ducklings that wander away, or yummy currant buns.

4. Development of listening skills
Music enhances auditory discrimination, helping toddlers recognise differences in sounds and patterns.

5. Positive associations with learning
Fun and enjoyable experiences with music and rhymes create a positive attitude towards learning, making toddlers more open to exploring new concepts

Attending mainly music and mainly play will benefit your child as you participate with them in the learning environment created
