The Wiggle Blues

The Liederturnen program is based on two important notions regarding how children learn during their preschool years.
First, Gerald Hüther, a well-known and often quoted German biologist believes that every learning process begins with one's own physical body.
Second, according to Renate Zimmer, an educational theorist focused on early childhood and professor of sport science, a child learns when it is playing. However, it never plays because of learning but because the activity gives it a feeling of joy.
Therefore, our conclusion and motto for Liederturnen is: Children learn best when they are playing together, having fun, and involving their whole bodies and senses.
