“Yellow bird has impacted so many aspects of our lives. Seeing my children’s love for music grow with them has been so wonderful. They love to sing and play instruments, and they’ve learned to take turns and help clean up. Alex has a true love for music and all the kids in her class and really makes the program so special. It’s a wonderful community of families and we have made so many wonderful friends through Yellow Bird!”
