Meet the Blecher Family! LHUMP kiddos were lucky enough to attend Kinder Konzert last spring and we had the extra special opportunity for a sneak preview of the concert by this amazing preschool family 😊🎻. Who is in your family?
Cece (mom), Richard (dad), Finn, and Annabel. Finn is a proud LHUMP graduate and Annabel will be starting her second year at LHUMP next year.

Favorite weekend activity?
Going to parks and swinging on swings, going to the pool. We love the Woodlake Nature Center. We hope to do lots of hiking and camping this summer.

Where did you go on your last vacation?
Last summer we got to visit Orcas Island, one of the San Juan Islands off the coast of Washington. It was beautiful and fun to feel the freezing ocean water on our toes and swim in the warmer lakes.

Favorite pizza place?
Pizzeria Lola

Something interesting about your family?
Annabel’s dad, Richard is from New Zealand. Annabel hasn’t been yet, but we look forward to when that can happen! Richard and Cece are both classical musicians. Richard plays the cello and Cece plays the violin.

Building a better brain through music, dance and poetry 04/03/2023

This resonates with me as someone who deeply believes in learning through play. Learning through art develops people in very positive ways.

Building a better brain through music, dance and poetry Art can make the brain's wiring stronger, more flexible and ready to learn, say the authors of a new book, Your Brain on Art: How the Arts Transform Us.
