By age 3, 85% of a child's core brain structure is formed, driving the need to support families from birth. This year, they received their biggest response ever, and over 50 families were in attendance to help kick off the first of their four class series, “Making Music With Your Child.” Shown are parents and children enjoying quality time together making music.
