INFANT AND TODDLER TIME

SCHEDULE:
Every Thursday at 10:00 am AGES: 0-4 years (older siblings are welcome to attend) Through singing, talking, playing, and reading, infants and toddlers acquire literacy skills in a fun-filled learning environment which leads to children who both enjoy reading and read more. The program provides a supportive network to parents and caregivers where they connect to other families and form community bonds.

The books and literacy strategies help families increase literacy skills and build interest in reading. |
