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.

Family Playdate Workshop
The Family Workshop is a six-week program intended for children, aged 5 years and under, and their caregivers. Caregivers and children gather in a room with passive toys that encourage creative play and learning. The sessions will also include a local child expert who will provide information and answer questions and concerns of caregivers on topics related to early child development.
STEM stands for Science, Technology, Engineering and Math. Join us for a special story time where we read a science themed story, then try hands-on science stations around the room.
Join us every Tuesday at 10:30 am for stories, songs, fingerplays and crafts using best practices of the Every Child Ready to Read program. You and your children will have fun while honing skills necessary to be ready to read!
Join us as we explore emotions and move through our feelings to a calm, kind space. Bring your curiosity as we practice techniques that help build a strong emotional awareness in ourselves and others.
This program is for children ages 3-6 and their parent/caregiver. Registration is required and begins one week in advance. Only the child needs to register.

Discovery Time with Miss Christine is a fun and engaging story time for the whole family!
