Leave a comment

2017-03-02_14-16-47Preschool programs are designed for children 3-5 years old (parent must stay with child under 4yrs). Classes meet year-round at the Watershed Center and always include outdoor exploration, so children and adults should dress accordingly. The classes are offered on Tuesdays (10:00 – 11:30AM) and Wednesdays (1:00-2:30PM).

Winter 2017 preschool special…Register and pay for 5 classes, receive a 6th class FREE. When available, you can ‘mix and match’ the day of the week. We recommend that children (and adults) come dressed for wintery weather (long pants, jacket, boots, hat and mittens) – we always spend part of the class exploring outdoors.

5 easy DIY projects to tackle this winter

Leave a comment

2017-02-06_11-50-34The winter months are the perfect time to dig in and tackle easy DIY projects for an updated home you’ll enjoy all year long. These five simple home improvement projects are incredibly easy, affordable and can be completed in three hours or less.

Marvelous mirrors

Mirror, mirror, on the wall, you’re looking a little shabby. Mirrors are timeless decor options, but the frames can look dated over time. Breathe new life into an old mirror by painting the frame a rich, modern color that pops within the current color scheme. Another idea is to clean the frame and adhere mosaic tiles along the edge for a crafty, custom look.

Handsome hardware

Old hardware makes any room look like a relic of yesteryear. A complete replacement can be costly, so instead opt to paint existing hardware. Simply remove and clean to eliminate grime. Then use one of 11 colors of Krylon(R) Premium Metallic, like Pewter Gray or White Copper, to create a lustrous, high-gloss metallic finish in just a few coats. A tip for painting hardware is to use an old egg carton. Turn the egg carton upside down, secure the hardware to the egg cups and spray away!

Ring in the New Year with a musical revue that will delight and surprise you – and even offer up some words of wisdom for the times we live in.

The show features four vocalists ready to make musical magic: Tom Chiola of Trenton, Haley Schmalbach of Marlton, Michael Wemer of Westampton, and Debi Zeontz of West Windsor. Kelsey patrons are invited to join in the lobby before the performances for dessert and coffee/tea. (Note that this show replaces “Billy Elliot,” which has been rescheduled for next season.)

Often referred to as the Bob Dylan of France, Jacques Brel was a prolific Belgian singer, songwriter, actor and director who composed and performed literate, thoughtful, and theatrical songs that generated a large, devoted following – initially in Belgium and France, and later throughout the world.
