            Introduce your toddler to early literacy and help build a foundation for reading. We pair engaging books with songs and rhymes. Toddlers and caregivers love to dance and listen during our time together.

            Storytime Accompanying Adults 
      
    
  
            This storytime works best if there is one child to one adult. Participation of caregivers with their child is important in order to help them learn while they are having fun.
