Early Learners
Out of caution and due to rising COVID cases, all Children’s in person programs are currently on hold. Please check our website or calendar for updated information about when we will resume.
Children start to develop early literacy skills beginning at birth, and reading together with children continues to be one of the most powerful ways to develop early literacy skills. Join us for energetic, engaging, and fun storytimes that will facilitate early literacy experiences and give you ideas for new ways to engage your child in early literacy practices.
