Are you on the hunt for an exciting and educational activity to keep your kids occupied? Well, search no more! Storytime is the perfect solution! Not only will your little ones have a blast, but they’ll also learn new words and valuable life lessons along the way. Additionally, Enrichment Kits are given to Storytime participants and include book recommendations and activities centered around phonics, counting, motor skills, life skills, and art. This program is recommended for ages five and under, but families are welcome to attend.
