Toddler Storytime- Schedule
Toddler Storytime is held throughout the year. It runs the entire months of February, March, April, June, August, September, October, November and the first part of December. It's a lap sit so one adult is required to be present with each child.
Toddler Storytime includes reading stories, singing songs, doing finger plays, and much much more. Activities done during this time are based on a theme for that week. There is literature given to each parent on extra activities that can be done to enhance the toddler's knowledge of the theme along with words to songs that are done frequently in storytime. If you're striving for quality time with your toddler, this is a great way to get started! This program is for children ages 18 to 36 months old. Registration for the programs is required.
