Children’s Learning Centers of Fairfield County (CLC) presents two free concerts as a gift to children and families. Both singers will be performing from their own homes and families can text the singers while they perform. “Our hearts are with the families of young children who are at home for the long-haul, homeschooling, playing and seeing friends on Zoom,” said Marc E. Jaffe, Chief Executive Officer of CLC. “We wanted to give children and their parents a special treat to look forward to- two happy concerts to sing and dance and move around. We love our children and we miss all of them being with us.”
The first concert on May 16 at 10 a.m. on Instagram, is with Sonia De Los Santos, a bilingual singer and Latin Grammy nominated artist who has been recognized by Billboard for the “Best Latin Kids Music.” We’re delighted to host Sonia to celebrate the diversity of our students and families – 65% who are Hispanic,” stated Jaffe. “Her warm, engaging style is sure to be enjoyed by all children and families.”
The second concert, on May 23 at 10 a.m. on Facebook, is with the iconic Laurie Berkner, the famous singer, songwriter and children’s book author. “We are fortunate that Laurie has agreed to sing for children on behalf of CLC,” Jaffe shared. “Whenever we tell people that she is doing a concert for us, it’s always a ‘Wow!’” Kids should put on their dancing shoes and bring a stuffed animal to put on their heads when Laurie sings, “Pig on Her Head.”
Plus – win a Prize from Funky Monkey Toys & Books. Parents who post a photo of children dancing with the hashtag #dancingkids and tag funkymonkeyct have a chance to win a prize from Funky Monkey Toys and Books in Greenwich. Gifts are designed for children 5 and under for this concert.
The events are free, but donations to CLC are welcome, at clcfc.org
