[Summit] New Progressive School Looking for Space

[Breslers]

FYI
*re Buildings:*  The Northern RI Collaborative does programs for kids w
challenges who are "mainstreamed" to public school classrooms during the
year, but maybe NOT so safe to "mainstream" to back yards & streets during
summer.  NRIC runs programs all over, so they really know where class room
space is available.  Maybe they would be willing to share their list, or
tell you where they got it.
(We know of them because Fishel has played music for their program.)

*note re Music:*--Fishel teaches music lessons, including to home schooled
kids, as a way of expanding their education. Two of our students started
together at about 3 & 5 years old. Still with us, at least 6 years later,
though now having individual lessons.


Good luck
Mrs B
