Music appreciation activities at a young age produce many benefits which include: simply enhancing the quality of life, directly supporting language development and other cognitive growth. Our one staff member has been a musician for over 20 years and will teach the children basics of music.
Another service we will provide is Parenting . We will provide information on healthy eating and basic parenting skills. Skills that address issues of communication, discipline, decision making, relationships, self-control and school success. These skills will enable parents to learn to nature their children's negative behaviors and increase their positive behaviors.
