S.F. Conservatory of Music
C5 has arranged with the San Francisco Conservatory of Music to have two of their students or faculty members visit both centers each month and play for the children and staff. Parents also join their child's audience when they are able.
Posters of the artists are placed in the classrooms at both centers before the visits to prepare children and promote parent participation. The children get very excited, and the parents are very appreciative.
The children at the Infant-Toddler Center are two months old to about 18 months old. The children at the Preschool Center are 18 months old to six years old.
C5 invites contributions of any denomination to help keep this marvelous program going.
