Storytime Rocks!

It's that time again!  Story Time!! 

I often get questions from parents and grandparents about which story time best suits their child.  Here are some guidelines when deciding.

Little Listeners

This is a fantastic, high-energy, BUSY program!  We have children anywhere from 3 months to 5 years that attend one of our Monday sessions.  We do not read any books, but instead we focus on literacy through music, rhymes, fingerplays and songs.  This class is repetitive, as professionals agree that this is the best way for young children to learn and they thrive on routine.  You'll quickly get the hang of this class and hear favorites such as "Itsy Bitsy Spider" and "The Wheels on the Bus."  This is a great opportunity for children to begin socialization.  The success of this program depends on parent participation and is an excellent time to bond with your child.

I Am 3!

This storytime is a transitionary program for children who are at least 3 years old.  It is a 1/2 hour class in which we read short, repetitive stories, sing songs and learn new fingerplays.  Afterwards, the children will make a simple craft.  Parents are invited to join their child if they are new to the class, but our goal is to get the children to attend on their own.

Book Buddies

This story time is perfect for the 4,5 & 6 year old child.  It is a bit longer, usually 45 minutes.  We will typically read about 3 picture books, and also sing some fun songs.  We will end with a craft that is related to our theme.  This class is for the independent child who can sit for an extended period of time on their own.

Family Bedtime Stories

This is our evening program that usually follows the same format as Book Buddies.  Parents are required to attend with their children, and it is open for ages 2 and up.

We hope that you will join us for a program this winter!!
