The STEPS Collaborative sponsored a music program last spring for the Coventry Early Childhood Center (CECC), Coventry Kids Center,

and Prince of Peace preschool.

The music program was based on Music Together curriculum www.musictogether.com

and children participated in singing, movement and music making.

Look for this program to be offered again this winter to all three preschools.

Here are a couple of pictures that were taken during the spring

program at CECC.

The STEPS Collaborative created Going to Coventry Grammar School, a book for children entering Kindergarten in the fall. The book was given to all the preschools to read to their children. We also made one for the Booth & Dimock Library. Families can look at the book in the library only, as it is not available to borrow.
