The following Storytimes will be offered:
Both are a great way for your child to interact with other young children while building crucial early literacy skills and providing you (the caregiver) with the tools to bring these practices into your home.
Talk about Storytime with your child before attending. This can help reduce stress and anxiety by preparing them for the basics of storytime. Talk about things like the group setting, listening, and paying attention.
Arrive on time and attend every week. This will ensure you and your child are ready to enjoy Storytime. The more you attend, the more comfortable you and your child will become, while the repetition of certain activities will help build your child’s brain.
When we say Storytime is for everyone, we mean you, too! Your child will get the most out of Storytime if you model good behavior, avoid distractions (like cell phones and conversations with other caregivers), and participate along with them. Yes, you may feel (and even look silly), but your child is taking their cues from you, so make sure to sing and dance along!
Remember, our Youth Services staff is always available as a resource to you, so if you have any questions or concerns, or just need a good book recommendation, we are happy to assist.
We can’t wait to see you at Storytime!
