ROCK AND ROLL DAY CARE
A GROWING MARKET
There are 20 million children under the age of five in the U.S., and about a quarter of them (5 million) are in some form of organized childcare (centers, nurseries, preschools).
The childcare market is worth $47 billion – a figure that’s expected to grow to $52.5 billion by 2021.
SOCIAL CHANGE
Advances in gender equality and the rise in the cost of living have led to the increase of households in which both parents work full-time.
There is a growing need for daycare facilities for young children that can facilitate balancing family and famiy life.
LEADERS IN MUSIC-BASED CARE
Rock and Roll Daycare provides families with full-day, full-year, comprehensive childcare, in a safe, secure and educational environment and has positioned itself as a market disruptor through an innovative music-based education system, and boutique, storefront locations.
Who we are and why we care
It’s best thought of as a love story. Boy meets girl, falls head over heels, marries the girl, and then a new cycle begins. Boy becomes a daddy, and now a new story begins…
It was mid-April when we knew, and it didn’t quite feel like the right timing. We were barely surviving on a touring musician’s salary, and were gearing up for another set of gigs across the country. We didn’t have health insurance, so the only hospital that would take us was 40 miles away. When considering the cost of what was ahead, we knew we didn’t have it. So, it must have been an angel that sent us to the door of a retired childcare CEO weeks later.
When my daughter was born, I felt a nervous excitement, the kind of shaky, uncertain thrill that comes at you when you step onto the stage. You know what you need to do, but you really don’t have any idea of how people are going to take it, or if they’re just going to stand up and walk out on you. Once you play that first note however, and you let your eyes wander out beyond the front row, you know that it’s time, and everything is suddenly different.
As I saw my daughter for the first time, I played that first note, and the world changed. I had received a gift, and it was now my responsibility to take care of what I’d been given. Rock and Roll Daycare began as a gift to my daughter, and now my sons, and future children. I can’t help but wake up each day knowing that today is a new opportunity to nurture that gift.
People often ask what Rock and Roll Daycare is, and while we are a music based Montessori school for infants, toddlers, and preschool, my favorite answer is: Rock and Roll Daycare is a love story to my children.
Our mission
Rock and Roll Daycare provides families with a premium, comprehensive, full-day, year-round childcare service. Our proprietary Rock and Roll Education Method is based on the concept of “music everyday”. This unique educational model is based upon the teachings of Maria Montessori, Carl Orff, Schinichi Suzuki, and Emile Jaques-Dalcroze.
Rock and Roll Daycare believes that children learn best in a prepared environment designed for freedom of movement and exploration. Adults in the classroom act as guides to the children, focused on observing the children and providing assistance and lessons to them based upon the natural inclinations and interests of the child.
The inclusion of music into our educational model speaks to the spirituality of the child. Rock and Roll Daycare believes that to partake in music and art speaks to what it means to be human. We believe that music makes better people, and is a boon to mankind.
