Preschoolers

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.

Read, sing, and grow with your young one. Meet other parents and help your child learn.

Join us each week for Toddler Story Time!

This program features stories, songs, rhymes, and movements designed to promote early literacy skills. Our 30-minute program will conclude with a brief, age-appropriate craft.

Toddler Story Time is intended for kids ages 1-3 years old and their caregivers.
