Transforming Residences with the Power of Music

Enhancing Attractiveness, Increasing Resident Retention, and Building Stronger Communities Through Exceptional Music Education

Inspiring Musical Growth for Every Child

At NOTE, we support and promote the growth and development of infants, toddlers, preschoolers, elementary-aged children, and their families through music. Music making at NOTE invites children to create, experience, discover, and innovate with their bodies or other materials. Whether it’s listening to singing, playing an instrument, or inventing music or movement to go with music, children engage in music making to explore music as a vehicle for expression and communication. Led by Professor Oh and our elite team of music educators from Teachers College, Columbia University, our children participate in regular music classes to explore and develop their musicality.

Guiding Principles for Lifelong Learning

Convenient, Hassle-Free

The Note Philosophy is guided by several principles that inform our work with children, families, and teachers. We think learning should be convenient in life hassle-free

Empowering Young Learners

We believe that young children are competent and innately motivated to learn. We create curriculums based on careful observations of children. A safe and interesting environment is designed which allows children to engage in activities according to their interests and developmental abilities. Children are encouraged to participate in their own care and to take responsibility for the group to the extent that they are able.

Building Connections

We prioritize human relationships in all aspects of our work. Research tells us that young children’s learning takes place within the context of human relationships. We work to create and support positive relationships through reciprocal communication between NOTE staff, teachers, and families, and fostering a spirit of community among the children.

Fostering Growth

We embrace an integrated and emergent curriculum that strengthens children’s developmental potential. Interactions and activities in our classrooms focus on the whole child, and are designed to be flexible enough to take advantage of “teachable moments”. We provide care and education for children in mixed-age groups that foster caring and community. Activities and materials are carefully selected for their potential interest to a wide range of children to accommodate developmental and learning differences.
