Promotes early literacy skills. The program features reading, singing, talking, writing and playing. We will help give you the resources you need to expand your child’s skills, preparing them to read. Recommended for children ages 2-5 years, it features age appropriate stories, songs, and fingerplays. Story time is an excellent way to bond with your child, boost their vocabulary, and hopefully raise a lifelong reader. Studies have shown that regularly reading to your child can increase their attention span, boost their emotional intelligence, and flex their imagination.
Preschoolers
Discovery Time with Miss Christine is a fun and engaging story time for the whole family! Each week, we build early literacy skills through the five essential practices: singing, talking, reading, writing, and playing.
Activities are thoughtfully designed to encourage learning, spark creativity, and foster a strong sense of community. Through hands-on experiences, children explore the world around them while building skills in speech and language development, music and movement, science, fine arts, and math.
