Discovery Time with Miss Christine is a fun story time for the entire family. Each week we focus on building literacy skills by incorporating the five essential early literacy practices: sing, talk, read, write, and play. These practices support language development, comprehension, and creativity, while also laying the groundwork for STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Art, and Mathematics) learning.
