Payne Center on 33rd Street. “Music carries many benefits for the overall development of young children,” said Children First VP of Programs Kathleen Sullivan. “Language and memory, as well as social and emotional skills develop as children engage in musical experiences. Music can translate to pure joy for young children as they learn and grow.” Music Compound’s Alicia Schiavone who specializes in early childhood education will expose the children to singing, instruments and movement. Music Compound will provide 3 hours of enrichment every Friday from February through May 2020.
