Hands-On Story Time

Designed for children ages birth to 5 years old

and their caregivers

Tuesdays & Wednesdays at 10 AM

September through May​

​

Our hands-on story time is a great way to get some social interaction for both you and your child.

 

Each week at Story Time, we gather together to read some great stories and enjoy a time of learning through songs, rhymes, activities, and crafts. 

​

Story Time is a wonderful way to encourage early literacy and a love of reading in your child. It's an engaging experience designed for little ones, with lots of movement and interaction built right into the program!
