"Tim joins us weekly in each one of the classrooms to lead our children in song. With guitar in hand and a joy to watch the children learn through music and fun for parent helpers to re-discover songs from their childhood with the kids. As a father, Tim has no shortage of experience, patience and inspiration." - Milldam Nursery School Parent, Concord, MA _________________________________________ "For the past few years, we have had you come to perform a couple of shows for the Kindergarten classes at South School and the shows have always gone over well. We'd like to continue that tradition this school year." - South School Parent, Andover, MA |
Dear Tim, Thank you for providing four delightful programs for our youngest patrons. Each week parents and other care givers sang your praises, commenting on the lively programs they had enjoyed with their young charges. It was very nice to have a male singer/storyteller for the very little ones. That is a role model not frequently seen. Staff enjoyed your performances also and not only the break from presenting several times a week to various age groups. Your method of mixing songs and stories, using familiar songs and changing the words, and the addition of toys for the children to use, all are similar to the Mother Goose on the Loose early literacy model that we have been developing. It fit in perfectly with our needs and met one of the goals of our Mother Goose on the Loose LSTA grant. We would like to engage you again in a similar way in the future. I will be in touch with you when I start putting together the school year program schedule. Sincerely, Kathleen D. Hutchins Head of Youth Services JV Fletcher Library, Westford, MA |
