Upcoming Events
While it looks like we are having a battle, Clermont and Staatsburgh are really great friends! Especially since we share so much Livingston family history! Here is a not-too-messy food fight your kids can enjoy in July, with a chance to win some chef swag and online acclaim!
We are excited that you’re going to enter our contest and make a “faux food” culinary concoction! The
goal of this contest is to have fun and be as imaginative as you want to be. You can make something
that people could actually eat, something you and your family would LOVE to eat, or even something
your family would never let you eat in real life!
You can make your faux (fake) culinary creation using any medium you want: drawing, painting,
sculpture, photo … you name it! Just send us a cool picture of your masterpiece, and fill out the form
below, to enter the contest. We can’t wait to see your creation!

With your child’s imagination at the helm, our classroom becomes a pirate ship, a distant planet, and anything else he dreams of! Watch his confidence soar as he leads an expedition into the land of pretend and joins his friends playing in a band of exciting new instruments.
Each week in class we combine your preschooler’s natural love of music, storytelling, and imaginative play with activities that introduce early music concepts like instrument families and rhythmic notation, and foster independence, social and emotional skills, language growth, and self-control. Plus, all of the early musical skills we have been developing since your child was a baby start to take shape as we use real musical terminology and prepare for the not-so-distant day when your child begins to learn a “big kid” instrument like the piano, ukulele, or recorder.
The Harmony Garden is honored to be recognized as being among the top Kindermusik studios worldwide for the fifth year in a row, and was voted best Music School by Hudson Valley Magazine in 2020!
