people live remarkable lives and supporting strong and healthy communities. But the truth is, it all starts with

YOU! It is the family signing up for flag football that gives the community a place to learn and build healthy lifestyles. It is the donor who knows all parents want the same things for their families that creates access to art classes for kids that would otherwise not have one to attend. It is the business who believes mental health services should be available to everyone who funds a therapist for someone without insurance. Your participation, your donation, and your time are the heart and soul of The Community House. In fact, more than a third of our annual revenue comes from donations and because we do not receive tax support, those donations are the only reason our doors are open to give you and your neighbors a great place to learn, engage, and play. I invite you to consider what you can do to help make your community a better place. Start small, hold the door open for the stranger behind you. Plant a garden to save the pollinators. Volunteer and donate to local nonprofit organizations. Send a text to your brother/sister/cousin/friend that you are thinking about them. Share with us what you think The Community House should offer. Your ideas have started many of the programs and services we offer today and you, the individual, is the only thing that will make a difference in the future.

LYARTS

Music Together

Ages: 0-6 years old with parent/caregiver Each week, babies, toddlers, preschoolers, and the grownups who love them gather for 45 minutes of fun-filled family music time with Tiny Toes Music. Your teacher will lead you and the other families in music activities ranging from lullabies to full-on jam sessions (with child-friendly instruments, of course). In Music Together’s mixed age classes, everyone participates at their own levels: babies vocalize, listen and observe; toddlers play and experiment; and preschoolers build confidences as they emerge as classroom leaders. You'll take home the award-winning music used in class, along with an illustrated songbook and other resources. You'll be supporting your child's music-learning and overall development all week long as you discover new ways to play with music together. It's so much fun, you won't realize how much learning is taking place! Infant siblings under 9 months attend for free and any caregiver (parent, nanny, or grandparent) can participate in this family music experience. For more information, visit www.TinyToesMusic.com.
