From the desk of The Executive Director
This time of year families are gearing up for the holiday season and preparing for the inevitable Chicago area winter. While the days are a little shorter and we often find ourselves hibernating until the joy (and warmth!) of spring, I still love the winter. Whether playing in the snow, sitting by a warm fire or playing indoor sports, the winter has lots to offer. The team at The Community House has been listening to your ideas and planning to make sure you have lots of opportunities and options to come out and play, engage, and learn all winter and right into the spring.
WINTER BIRTHDAY?

• FUTURE DOCTOR?

• NEED A NEW WORKOUT?

HAVING A CREATIVE MOMENT?

In the new year you can still join the After the Bell program at your school (page 7), extend your kindergarten day with the K.E.A.P. half day program (page 8) or learn to play lacrosse with the talented coaches of the Hinsdale Herd Lacrosse (page 34). Take a moment to explore what we is being offered over the next few months, we know you’ll find something for every age and interest in your house. And don’t forget, because we are privately funded and do not receive your tax support, when you participate and donate, YOU are the reason we can continue to offer these amazing opportunities to your family and the community.

In Music Together’s mixed age classes, everyone participates at their own levels: babies vo calize, 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

In addition, the class will also work as a cast throughout the semester on a couple of staged production numbers. At the last class we give them the chance to perform in front of a real audience. If your child is already performing for you at home, or your child needs a little more encouragement, then this is the class for them! Here’s a chance for your Broadway Kid to strut their stuff!
