Why Music? Come and See!

Submitted by Minuet Studio on August 30, 2011 - 9:10am

“A child sings before it speaks, dances almost before it walks. Music is with us from the beginning.”-writer Pamela Brown All children are born with musical gifts. We instinctively sing, rock and dance with our babies. It creates a deep bond and it helps our children to grow and delight in the world. We, as parents, have long known what scientist have proven time and time again: children need music. Come share your love for music and dance with your child. Fall Kindermusik classes for infants to 5 year olds begin September 8 at St. Luke's church in Tacoma. Kindermsuik classes use music to facilitate development of the whole child. *Cognitive Development *Musicality *Early Literacy *Movement *Social Development and *Emotional Development Come Join us for a FREE preview class.

Music Begins at Birth

As parents, we have all heard and read that music has a profound impact on a child's development. We are often told that music enhances math performance or other scholastic endeavors. However, the majority of the benefits of early music exposure are much more personal.

2 year old birthday party

Submitted by ksoverbeck on April 19, 2009 - 1:52am

I am trying to figure out something to do for my son's birthday. He turns two on May 29th and I want to have a party outside of our house because it's small and I don't want to deal with the mess. Anyway, last year we went to Round Table on Pearl and that worked great. This year my concern is keeping the kids entertained without overstimulation. Round Table doesn't really have the space for a handful of wild toddlers. Weather may be a concern too considering the unpredictiveness we have to deal with around here. Any ideas? I just want something fun and enjoyable for adults too.

venue for my son's 2nd birthday

Submitted by Jennifer Boutell on October 9, 2008 - 8:55pm

I am looking for a party place for my son whose birthday falls on Christmas Day. Unfortunately, whenever we invite guests, they are always busy doing their own thing because of the holiday season.

I am seeking for any ideas or suggestions when we can hold a birthday party for him and where. I just want the guests that we will invite to be there.

Please scratch off McDonald's, Chucke C, and the Children's Museum (that's where we held his 1st birthday.)

Thanks a lot to those who will reply. You are a heaven sent!

Hands on Children's Museum (Hands on Olympia)

The Hands on Children's Museum rocks. We should have checked it out years ago, but I seldom get further South than Lakewood, unless a ride magically appears the way it did yesterday morning when a friend called and suggested the field trip.

North Slope Park (91 Good Days in Tacoma)

This morning, we awoke to find some strange ball of fire in the sky, bringing light and warmth to the Earth. To fully appreciate such a rare celestial occurrence, we made plans to meet a friend at North Slope Park, a hidden playground we finally located just at the end of the Summer and hadn't had a chance to visit yet.

Yesterday we had a chance to visit the newly remodeled Children's Museum of Tacoma. The all-new exhibits focus on active play and nutrition, and appeal to a wider age range than previous installations.
