I’m pleased to be able to spread the word that the Ukranian Village Childrens’ Center, 918 N. Damen, is once again offering break-time art and play classes from 10am to 12 noon on December 22, 23, 29 and 30.  At just $15 per class ($13 for an additional sibling), this is excellent value.  While not a Montessori school, UVCC, is fairly Montessori-compatible, drawing a lot of kids from Drummond, Suder and Near North.  It’s a low-key place with a great, down-to-earth vibe where children’s creativity and independence is respected, and my girls are always happy to be there.  RSVP to .
