“Clawson’s Nature’s Playhouse to offer special FREE Art & Music Jam night
 for it’s all new lineup of June classes at Hunter Community Center

 Clawson’s “Nature’s Playhouse” is a Waldorf-inspired play and wellness center for children  and caregivers.  In June they will begin offering new classes in Art and Music therapy. In ‘Artful Parenting’, new parents will create and connect while their new babies play and ‘In Harmony’ children on the autism spectrum scale will learn to socialize through the power of music and movement! Nature’s Playhouse will also offer additional music and art classes for children between the ages of 18 months to 6 years old.
 
Here are just a few documented conclusions about the benefits of therapy classes of this kind:

“We are going to be doing a series of introduction-type classes for parents interested in activities for their toddlers throughout the summer…” says co-owner Lisa Ball.  
“We have a lot of new activities, classes, and events at our center happening, and I feel like an open-house format where parents are invited to experience a taste of the class and meet the teachers before registering is a nice thing to offer new moms and dads…” Ball says.
