Preschoolers

Play and Grow Family Place Workshop / Taller familiar "Jugar y crecer"

This series is an early literacy program that highlights learning through play. These will be child-led sessions in which families play with various passive toys and stations.

During this five-week workshop, parents/caregivers will have access to a resource professional to answer questions on topics including literacy, child development, nutrition, and speech and language development.

Join us for an interactive early literacy experience for preschoolers and their caregivers. This program is geared toward children ages 3-6 years old and features songs, books, and crafts each week!

This program is a wonderful way to promote early literacy, social skills, and kindergarten readiness skills!

Space is limited. Please pick up your free tickets at the Children's Reference Desk the morning of the program to gain entry to Sapling story time.

Every Monday at 11:30 AM, hop on over for a delightful Storytime extravaganza! Immerse yourself in a whirlwind of whimsical stories, catchy tunes, and playful rhymes that will bring joy to little ones' faces. Don't forget to bring along your coziest blanket or your snuggliest stuffed friend for that extra touch of magic!

You're invited to attend Story Time every Tuesday at 11 am. 

Story Time is a great way for children to build early literacy skills with stories, rhymes and songs. Parents and guardians are encouraged to participate by sitting with children and singing (and learning!) new songs.
