Early Literacy: Everything a child knows about reading and writing before they learn to read and write
Grow A Reader storytimes are designed to develop early literacy skills through Talking & Listening, Singing & Rhyming, Reading & Sharing, Writing & Creating, and Playing & Imagining. Your child's early literacy journey will include picture books, music, fingerplays, movement activities, literacy tips, and more.
Sensory Sensitive Storytimes
Sensory Storytime is a smaller storytime designed to engage children who may prefer a softer and adaptive experience. Open to all families, Sensory Storytime focuses on being inclusive and engaging for all developmental levels. Registration is encouraged.
