Merit’s Music Explorers Program supports your child’s first steps in a lifetime journey of musical exploration and appreciation. Our programs provide a learning environment that is playful, developmentally appropriate and musically rich. Adult participation in the program enables children and parents or caregivers to share the joy of making music. The emphasis of our Early Childhood Program is on the process, not results, which allows for a comfortable and positive experience for each student.

Our faculty members are experienced in both music and child development.
