Making Connections!

Why bring your child to Story Time?
● Build early literacy skills
● Make social connections
● Get practice listening and participating
● Foster a love of libraries, books, music & learning.
● It’s fun!

This series will make use of enrichment materials such as a Flannel
Board, Story Apron, and puppets which help teach the six skills
of early literacy. We will reinforce narrative skills, math concepts,
sharing, and taking turns. Stories will be followed by a craft or activity
designed to give your child independent fine motor practice and a
creative outlet. Our wonderful friend Christy will join us several times
a month to lead songs and music!
