Who Uses Fiddlefox
Classroom Teachers
Our read, sing, and play method is tailored to help early childhood teachers enrich their classrooms with dynamic musical content, fun craft activities, and music games. Accompany your next concert with our traditional instrumental tracks or collaborate with teachers around your school to create cross-curricular cultural units and performance events. Fiddlefox’s companion activity books provide teachers with fun facts, coloring pages, puzzles, and choreography inspired by each collection of songs.
Music Educators
Our multicultural music curriculum adds colorful context to your teaching routine, providing you with lesson plans, extra-curricular content, and video resources for continuing professional development. Fiddlefox’s rainbow bell notation helps students as young as 3 develop sight reading and ear training skills at the foundational stages of their musical development. With songs composed in a diverse range of meters, modes, tonalities, and styles, veteran music instructors can use these songs as a springboard into deep music learning.

Meet the Bosdet family 🤗⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
We are a family of four who love to travel and introduce our kids to new experiences. Our mantra has always been to incorporate our kids into our "regular lives" as much as possible, even if it may seem difficult at times. This has allowed us to share many things with them, while also seeing the world through their eyes. Our "story" has only just begun!⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
When we asked Sharon (Director, Total Rewards & HR Systems) and Nathan (Health Economist) what they thought the benefits of Rock & Roll Daycare were, Sharon replied:⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
📌 Our two sons started daycare (at RRDC) when they were 12 weeks old, following my maternity leave. It's all they know! They have both learned so much at school, and as working parents, we always felt that we were providing them with a great foundation for their development and growth. The social aspect has been tremendous as well and is very important for kids early on. We are not experts on educating children, so for us, it was a no-brainer to utilize daycare.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
🥰
Did you know that it's World Book Day 📚 today?⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Montessori education isn't just about beautiful materials on wooden trays.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
One of the foundations of this system is getting ready, as adults, to be the best version of ourselves so that we can better serve the children in our life. Self-knowledge is the first step towards self-care.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Today, Barbara Bisceglia, from Open Door Montessori, is going to talk to us about the different phases a teacher goes through, to better understand ourselves, our process, and our goals.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
