STORY TIME


Story Time Mission

Our mission is to promote early literacy, pre-reading, and pre-school readiness for children of all ages. We encourage grown ups to sit with their children, participating in the activities as able. Storytime is lots of fun and children actively learn by watching modeled behavior. So, jump in and have fun with us!

Literacy Tip:

​Children develop topics of interest at a very young age.  Think about how many times your child has asked to repeat a story or watch a movie.  Repetition is an important learning tool! (Though, admittedly, it can be a challenge to read a book over and over and over again!)  Reading stories about talents or abilities can be a great spark for developing interests to be explored.  In storytime this week, we read a book about an artist, one that lives deep in the ocean at that!  As a follow up, we gave the children a framed piece of cardstock and asked them to be an artist.  The results were amazing and there was definitely a sense of pride in the room!  Maybe one day we’ll see your child’s work in a museum!!

Collage Art

The children were given a piece of cardstock with a framed outline.  A variety of materials were provided along with glue sticks.  The children were encouraged to create their own masterpieces and photos were taken of each child with a mustache prop just like the octopus in our story, I'm The Best Artist in the Ocean!
