The Community House invites you to take part in our Parent Advisory Meetings. One of the goals of these meetings is to provide the community the opportunity to discuss with The Community House, ideas and feedback on current and future programs. Meetings will focus on programming and give The Community House leadership the chance to gather some feedback on our programs.

Dan Janowick Executive Director

From the desk of The Executive Director

GATHER. GROW. GIVE-BACK.

As we navigate the back-to-school transition, changing seasons, and election cycles; I am filled with pride in what The Community House offers to our community. Our programs transcend political parties and school district boundaries, and we stand as a beacon of strength and connectivity, fostering a vibrant tapestry of support and opportunity for families to gather, grow, and give back.

At the heart of our mission lies the belief that strong and healthy communities are built on shared experiences and mutual support. Every day, we witness the power of connection in action: from the laughter echoing through our halls during our summer camps to the quiet moments of learning in an art class. Each interaction, whether big or small, contributes to the rich fabric of our community.

From our signature programs like the afterschool program (page 7) or the Jodie Harrison basketball League (pages 30 & 31) to the diverse array of educational and recreational programs designed to enrich lives at every stage, we create a gathering space where everyone can thrive, connect, and grow.

I am continually inspired by the passion and dedication of our staff, volunteers, Board of Trustees, and community partners who work tirelessly to make The Community House a place we can all be proud of. Together, we have built not just an institution, but a home—a place where families, neighbors and strangers can meet, because life is more fun when we’re together.

In a complicated world, I have no doubt that together, we will continue to build a stronger, more connected community—one that is inclusive, supportive, and welcoming to all. I look forward to seeing you at our house!

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 level: babies vocalize, listen and observe; toddlers play and experiment; preschoolers build confidence as they emerge as classroom leaders. Grownups are happy because everyone can come to class together! 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 session 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 No class the week of Oct. 22nd.

Mah Jongg Lessons

Ages: 18 years old and up

Learn to play American Mah Jongg with friends! Mah Jongg is a game that has been sweeping the country. It is a stimulating game of both skill and luck.

Class is taught by two retired high school educators who have taught this remarkable game for more than 10 years. No supplies are needed. DO NOT ENROLL if you cannot attend the 1st two sessions!

Join us at The Community House and meet Zuzana from Hummingbird Qigong in this beginner to intermediate Tai Chi program to improve your balance, coordination and overall health. Per Harvard Medical School, Tai Chi is often described as “meditation in motion,” but it might well be called “medication in motion.” There is growing evidence that this mind-body practice has value in treating or preventing many health problems. Tai Chi is a practice that involves a series of slow gentle movements and physical postures, a meditative state of mind, and controlled breathing. It’s a low-impact, slow-motion exercise, that doesn’t put any pressure on the joints. It’s also slowly becoming therapeutic exercise for many chronic health conditions. Session/Classes will not be pro-rated and are non-refundable unless canceled by The Community House.
