Music. Play. Community.

Melody and Harmony is an early childhood music program where young children learn and study music through play and exploration.

Through years of experience in the field of early childhood education, owner Rebecca Johnson (Miss Becca) has learned that young children learn best in an environment that is comfortable, enriching, and consistent. It will always be her goal to create joy in the expression of oneself through music, play, and community.

Becca Johnson

Mentor Teacher
B.A. in early childhood education
Teaching for 8 years

I graduated from Aquinas College in 2020 with a Bachelor’s in Early Childhood Education. I started at the GREDC in 2016, left briefly in 2022, but came back in 2023. Through many roles at the GREDC, I have gained hands-on experience working with children under the age of 5. I absolutely adore working with all children, but infants and toddlers are the most fun in my eyes!

I do own an early childhood music business, Melody and Harmony. I have always been a musical person and after graduating college, I wanted to find a way to combine something I was passionate about with the love I have for working in Early Childhood. Teaching music to young children is the perfect way to do this!

Lauren Huyck

Mentor Teacher

B.S in psychology and writing
A.A. in early childhood education
Teaching since 2010

My name is Lauren Huyck and I am the afternoon lead for the Scoperta classroom. I started as a teaching assistant when the center was still part of Aquinas in 2010. When we became the GREDC in 2012, I stayed on. In 2014, I was excited to accept the role of lead teacher.

I have a Bachelors in psychology and writing, and an associates in early childhood education. I am currently working on getting a Masters in psychology with a concentration in child development.

I love seeing the children grow and learn. There are so many developmental milestones that I get to see and experience. I fell in love with the Reggio approach and work to incorporate it in all my experiences with children. It has definitely taught me to treat children as citizens of the world.

I honestly could go on about how much I love the work I do and how passionate I feel about every child having quality care but that would take eons. So I will end with these two quotes:

“To take children seriously is to value them for who they are right now rather than adults-in-the-making.”

Alfie Kohn

If you trust play, you will not have to control your child’s development as much. Play will raise the child in ways you can never imagine.
