Been There Done That Movin’ On Twos and Threes is for children who have been coming to the classes for a while and are capable of following more specific directions to musical games and are ready to learn new songs. Each week a different type of instrument is introduced and shared.
If you know little to nothing about computers, are afraid or confused about them, or interested but don’t know where to start, this is the place for you. We cover the basics of Microsoft Word and Excel, email, and how to search the Internet for whatever interests you. There is no fee, you can start any day, but you can only attend once a week. Classes last an hour and are held on Mondays at 6pm and Tuesdays/Wednesdays at 10:30am.
Toddler Science is for children ages 3 and up. Experiments, books, music and crafts encourage you and your child to explore the world around you.

Learn the ins and outs of amateur film production working alongside fellow teens in areas like writing, directing, and editing.
Join us on March 22 at 6pm for an amazing look at the Valley’s former booming brass industry. Our speaker will be Emery Roth who has compiled unique photos of the Ansonia Copper & Brass Co. into a photography book that he will discuss as well as the history of the brass industry in the Valley.
Emery Roth has been shooting photographs since childhood. He studied both design and language arts at Carnegie-Mellon University, simultaneously earning degrees in architecture and literature. His pictures and his experiences shooting them inspire his writing. After 40 years living and teaching in Connecticut’s “Northwest Hills,” he became fascinated with the old mill towns of the Naugatuck Valley and their history, and he began following the tracks through old ruins until he was led to the last functioning brass mill.
