"Kathleen Rushing has devised an exciting, highly age-appropriate program that kids love! She makes education fun, as she connects with her audience through music, stories, and good humor. Plenty of opportunities for audience participation make the program lively, engaging, and sometimes hilarious. Mill Valley kids especially enjoyed using silly instruments to make sound effects for Little Bunny Foo-Foo; kids and caregivers alike were captivated by Ms. Rushing's entertaining, generous, and highly professional presentation. We enthusiastically recommend Bingo Schmingo Music! "

"Bingo Schmingo Music is a delightful program that finely interweaves instruction in phonics and vocabulary with music and fun! It has been a pleasure for our staff and students to work with Kathleen during our summer pre-k program. Being able to send musical CDs of our children singing the songs they had learned, home with each family, was the frosting of the cake for this outstanding program. We look forward to doing this again! "
