Kindermusik with 88 Keys Piano is so excited to be giving away this priceless opportunity to a child with special needs. While the benefits of Kindermusik in ALL children are astounding, these classes have been proven to be doubly transformational for children with any kind of special situation.

Therapists often recommend Kindermusik Savannah’s program to families whose children experience physical, emotional, cognitive, or social challenges. Research, as well as success stories from grateful families, have confirmed this effective power of music for the development of special needs children.

Truly every child has a special need: the need to be loved and cherished and given the very best early foundation possible. Every child is unique. Every child is special. Every child is a music maker. Every June, as we offer this scholarship, we consider it our joy and pleasure to be able to touch the life of one VERY special child in a beautiful way.

If your child has any type of developmental, physical or cognitive challenge or delay, please consider applying for this scholarship. Weekly classes for the entire month of June will be given away.

Deadline is May 30 2021 at midnight. Winner will be chosen May 31.

Visit kindermusikwith88keys.com or to apply, or text 912-432-5885 for more info.

Also, now enrolling – June monthly playdate: “Here Comes the Train” – June 12 2021 at 10AM.

New Skidaway Island State Park Visitor Center, Savannah

Skidaway Island State Park will host a public ribbon-cutting celebration for its new visitor center at 10AM on May 13. The 6,300-square-foot building is now the first stop for those enjoying one of Georgia’s most popular state parks.

Designed to reflect the architectural style of neighboring communities, the facility spotlights the low-country barrier island. Floor-to-ceiling windows showcase the maritime forest and marsh, and guests can enjoy birding from a screened porch. Towering 20 feet high is a giant ground sloth skeleton, a replica of an ancient fossil found within the park in 1822. Nature exhibits include turtles and snakes, and a gift shop is filled with clothing, toys, books, camping supplies, jewelry and local foods. The visitor center also includes meeting space, classroom space and staff offices.

Skidaway Island State Park is just 15 minutes from downtown Savannah, yet surrounded by peaceful tidal waterways and forest. Overnight guests can choose from small cabins or campsites shaded by live oaks and Spanish moss. During the day, visitors can enjoy hiking, biking, geocaching and ranger programs. The park’s Big Ferry Nature Trail is part of Georgia’s Colonial Coast Birding Trail, and colorful painted buntings are often spotted during spring.

To learn more, visit GaStateParks.org/SkidawayIsland or call 912-598-2300.

The public is invited to attend the ceremony, and parking is $5. Skidaway Island State Park is operated by the Georgia Department of Natural Resources.
