    Note to Parents and Caregivers

    Storytime isn't just for kids! It's an opportunity for parents to learn how to teach early literacy skills. Please join and participate with your child, even if they're shy.

    Children learn by example, and you're their best role model. We don't expect silent attention; if your child becomes disruptive, feel free to step out together and return when they've calmed down. Let's make learning together a fun experience!

    Tuesdays at 9:45 and 10:45 am

    Join Ms. Julie for this storytime that focuses on developing your baby's pre-literacy skills. She'll help introduce a love for books with song, movement and rhyme. You'll get to enjoy a variety of age-appropriate books, songs, and finger plays.

    Thursdays at 6:30 pm
