Program Description
Event Details
Step into a world of imagination with storytelling sessions designed especially for young children and their families. Storytime promotes early literacy, fuels creativity, and helps little ones build social skills in a fun, welcoming space. Through books, songs, and interactive play, children grow, learn, and share joyful moments with caregivers and new friends. It’s a heartwarming way to make reading an adventure and create lasting memories.
August's Storytime theme explores the wide world of feelings from the butterflies in our bellies to the sparkles of happiness in our hearts. Through expressive stories, songs, and activities kids will learn to name their emotions and understand that every feeling has a place.
We’ll clap, stomp, and shout along to the classic “If You’re Happy and You Know It,” turning this playful tune into a celebration of all the different ways we feel especially as we get ready for big new adventures like going to school!
Get ready to wiggle out those worries, giggle through the jitters, and settle into stories that help kids feel seen and safe.
