Union Colony Children's Music Academy

We provide the benefits and joys of high quality music and movement education to children in Greeley and Weld county through our partnership with the Weld County District 6 School District's Early Childhood Preschool Program (including children qualifying for Headstart, Colorado Preschool Program, and Preschool Special Education) and through our financial and adaptive scholarship fund. Our scholarship fund provides adaptive classes and scholarships for children with disabilities, teen parents and their babies, and children who would otherwise not be able to participate.

Testimonials

"Our adopted children have significant sensory and special needs. Our music class continues to be the highlight of our week. The encouragement and support could not have come at a better time in our life. We have seen significant improvements in their language skills, behaviors and sensory input. We are so grateful and highly recommend this program."

"My wonderful child was introduced into our home at 7 months, a very sick and traumatized child. As a parent of a few children suffering from traumatic starts, we immediately enrolled him into music and movement classes through Union Colony Children's Music Academy. Music, along with movement encouraging crossing his midline is an important therapy to aid in stress reduction, and helping the brain to start to heal from the areas that were stunted from trauma. It has been our experience, with our developmentally normal functioning children and our challenged children, that this program has been one of the greatest gifts in their learning processes. Music and movement are crucial to all children's early academic lives, especially before reading and math activity. My child continues to need encouragement in controlling his impulse control, and socially interacting in appropriate and kind manner. Experiencing this type of music and movement opportunity within his learning environment has been highly beneficial. He is learning these skills, and repeating these skills daily. He will be successful in his future as a learner."

"The growth and development my children have shown through Union Colony's music classes have exceeded my expectations. The songs and activities help with so much more than music. My children have learned practical things that help me teach and parent, for instance washing hands, brushing teeth, following instructions, stopping something they are doing, cleaning up, transitioning to new tasks, playing with others, exploring, and creative play are just a few to name. I love taking them each week and it is so fun to come home and see how much they've learned, even if they don't show it in class or show it when they were younger (babies). Putting my kids in UCCMA is the best thing I have ever done for their growth and development. I love the teachers and the programs and would highly recommend it to anyone considering."

"UCCMA has a great program. My son has been attending classes for over three years now and started when he was 6 months old. Each class is thoughtfully planned and the variety of classes are tailored to accommodate your child as they grow. Not only are the classes fun, but they continue to teach music, movement, creativity, memorization, and spark activities at home that my son normally wouldn't have thought of."
