Storytimes

Storytime introduces your child to books, rhymes and rhythm, music and songs, flannelboard stories, taking turns, paying attention, and being in a group. Each session is typically 25 to 30 minutes in length to accommodate attention span and developmental levels, and some storytimes also include a craft or other learning activity. All storytimes are different, just like your kiddos. Recommended for kids from birth through age 5.
