Spring classes for the "Mozart,
Mommy and Me!" preschoolers' pro-
gram will begin next week at
Congregation Shaarey Zedek in
Southfield.
Children will learn language, art
and movement to the tune of classi-
cal music at five-week sessions facili-
tated by two speech pathologists. All
classes are age and developmentally
appropriate.
Two separate series will start
9:30-10:30 a.m. Tuesday, May 9, for
ages 2'/2 to 3'/2, and Wednesday,
May 10, for ages 18 months to 2'/2.
The cost is $70 for members; $75
nonmembers.
"Mozart, Mommy and Me!" is an
individualized, play-based, multi-
sensory approach to caregiver/child
interaction.
The idea for it grew out of career
moms having to share child rearing
with caregivers.
"This program teaches moms,
caregivers and grandparents how to
spend the time in a fun, joyful way
while the child is exposed to learn-
ing," explains speech pathologist

,Ellie Smith-Litt, the program cre-
ator. "We blow bubbles to
Beethoven, move to Mozart and
paint to Prokofiev."
She adds: "Children are learning
all the time by playing and explor-
ing. This program allows them to
play as individuals, yet learn the
importance of being a valued mem-
ber of a group. They learn turn tak-
ing, transitions, sharing and all the
things that moms want for their
children."
Adults in the program will pick
up words and phrases that can make
child rearing easier and learn how to
offer choices and to follow through
with consequences without shaming
the child or being overly punitive.
They also will learn ways to help
their young ones feel free to explore.
Classes for developmentally
advanced (gifted) 2'/2 to 3'h year olds
and for physically and mentally chal-
lenged youngsters will be scheduled
if there is enough interest.
For registration and other infor-
mation, call Ellie Smith-Litt, (248)
