You may have missed the December edition, but it is not too late to sign up for January!

What a pleasure it is to see children having fun while they are learning.  Our monthly early childhood e-newsletter, Idea Kids, offers engaging ways to help children be successful in school.  It is designed to meet the developmental needs of children primarily between the ages of 2-8 years old. 

We all look forward to the rest and relaxation of summer and, of course, it is important to take a break.  But hot, lazy summer days with nothing to do may not be the best thing for our students.  During the summer months, many children who do not participate in educational enrichment activities can experience learning losses, often referred to as the "summer slide."

Enjoy a family concert with Mr. Steve!  WCVE PBS and WCVW PBS are partnering with the Children's Museum of Richmond for a fun-filled family event.

PBS KIDS' Mr. Steve will be performing three concerts on Sunday, July 17th.  The concerts are scheduled for 10:00 am, 12 noon, and 2:00 pm.  After each performance, there will be an opportunity to meet and greet Mr. Steve.  The concerts are free with admission to the museum.  For more information, call the museum at (804) 474.7000.  This will be a rockin' show!  Please join the fun.

“How did I ever get into this mess?”

It’s another wild and wacky day in the life of Noah, a nine-year-old boy living in a world where just about no one understands him.

Literally.

Noah is visiting his grandmother.  Where she lives no one speaks English.  He’s trying to learn Spanish, but sometimes he gets it wrong...and that’s when the trouble starts.
