mainly music is a Christian preschool ministry based in Australia, with groups running in various churches by subscription around the world. Seagate Church have been running mainly music since August 2016. Sessions run on Thursday mornings during term time and consist of a 30-minute music and movement session, with designed educational benefits, followed by a snack time for the kids. Then there’s a time of Eat/Play/Chat where the team play alongside the children with various toys, leaving the adults to enjoy home baking and tea/coffee whilst chatting with each other and building good friendships and support networks. Special occasions such as birthdays, Easter, Christmas, Mothers & Fathers Days are celebrated as part of the mainly music curriculum. Throughout the session, children develop gross and fine motor skills, language, imagination, maths and pre-reading skills as well as socialise with others. Each mainly music session is run by volunteers and includes some well-known songs and rhymes, as well as mainly music originals – some of which give families a chance to think about the God-part of life.
Currently around twenty families attend mainly music each week and there is a long waiting list! For more information, please speak to Kirsty or Ruth.
