Bermuda – Third times a charm for Alexandra Lima and her Kindermusik program, Bermuda Kids. Ms. Lima and Bermuda Kids has been named a Top Program by Kindermusik International, the world’s leading provider of music-based education for infants, toddlers, and young children.
Alexandra Lima is a Kindermusik Accredited Educator and the owner of Bermuda Kids, which has been serving Bermuda families since 2021. The Kindermusik Top Program award recognizes excellence in spreading the lasting developmental benefits of music and movement through Kindermusik’s “a cappella” studio curricula.
“These Accredited Educators work tirelessly to not only reach more families with the power of shared musical play, but to teach parents and caregivers how to use it after class so that the learning continues,” said Scott Kinsey, CEO at Kindermusik International. “Their ability to continuously connect and facilitate these joyful ‘a-ha’ moments is something that really sets them apart.”
Top Programs offering Kindermusik classes are all independently owned businesses, but their approach to prioritizing whole-child development through research-driven shared musical play is the same. Classes at these studios and organizations typically fill up fast because the level of teaching is exceptional, and families keep coming back for more. Kindermusik International is continuously in awe of these high-performing leaders, and we’re proud to recognize them year after year.
Bermuda Kids joins a select group of early childhood music programs who offer Kindermusik classes around the world. Alexandra Lima reaches over 100 of Bermuda’s families each year through joyful musical moments and has been named #64 in the rank of top educators. “We are so excited to be named one of the Top Programs around the world.” Lima says.
“It has been a privilege to facilitate the award winning Kindermusik curriculum for families in Bermuda. Our hard work and dedication to the community and families have paid off!”
“To be recognized internationally, is extremely rewarding” says Lima. “We are assessed by many factors that contribute to this honor, and to join the list with much bigger countries such as Canada, United States and Australia is unbelievable. For Bermuda Kids to be amongst the best of the best, is so fulfilling.”
As a licensed educator, not only with Kindermusik but with the Bermuda Educators Council, Lima strives to implement more of the arts into traditional educational settings. “It is my goal to reach more children with the power of music and movement. The arts are for everyone, and need supporting. Kindermusik has absolutely changed the way I teach. Learning should be playful and fun, making it more meaningful. If I can help one student to make connections with their learning, it has all been worth it.”
“I am looking forward to the future of Bermuda Kids as we plan to expand into schools, childcare centers and nurseries.”
