Guidelines & Tips for Enjoying Story Time
Story time is an introduction to the world of books, literature and lifelong
learning. Programs may include stories, songs, finger plays, crafts and
other related activities.
Ages 2 & 3 Mondays, 10:30 - 11:00 a.m. Prepare for Story Time
Discuss with your child before you come the importance of being a good
listener by being quiet and still so others can enjoy the stories too.
Ages 3 - 5 Tuesdays, 10:30 - 11:15 a.m.
Arrive Early
Allow you and your little one time to hang up your coats and get ready for
story time. Story times start promptly at their scheduled time.
