We’d love for you to join us for a super fun and cozy 20-minute Storytime adventure! Our sessions are perfect for kids ages 3 to 5 and will include two delightful stories, some interactive songs, fun movement activities, and a cute craft to take home! To keep things comfy and cozy, we limit each Storytime to just 16 children. We encourage parents to let their little ones attend on their own, as this helps build important school readiness skills and encourages independence. Mrs. Megan and Mrs. Elaine can’t wait to share stories and songs with your kids while helping them develop a lifelong love for reading. We’re so excited to see you there!
