Frank Leto is a distinguished Montessori educator, musician and award-winning children’s songwriter who has dedicated over five decades to integrating music into early childhood education.

His innovative approach, known as the "Method to Music," emphasizes a multi-sensory learning experience that aligns seamlessly with Montessori principles. In a collaboration with Class with Chloe, Frank created a music program and educational preschool video series focusing on fun games and musical experiences for Class with Chloe members to enjoy.

Music is an essential part of early childhood education because it supports a child’s development in many ways: cognitive, emotional, social, and physical. Through singing, rhythm and movement, children enhance their language skills, memory, and listening abilities, while also improving their coordination and fine motor skills.

Music fosters emotional expression and helps young learners understand feelings in themselves and others. It also encourages social interaction, as children collaborate during group songs or movement activities. These are all principles that both Frank Leto and Maria Montessori believe in.

For parents and educators seeking to enrich children's musical experiences, Leto's music video series are invaluable, featuring Frank’s original children’s music. The featured songs promote language development and listening skills, making them ideal for both home and classroom settings. ​

This is just a sample of what is included in a Class with Chloe membership. Class with Chloe was founded by a Montessori mom and a pediatric speech language pathologist who thoughtfully designed this preschool program to create interactive, guilt-free screen time you can feel good about and educational printable activities your kids will love!
