Ages 0 - 6 years

Family Story Time is a combination of books, flannel stories, songs, rhymes, and sometimes crafts. We include activities that appeal to a wider age range so the whole family can join in the fun!

Engaging children in simple but powerful activities every day help them develop early literacy skills that help them get ready to read. These activities or practices are talking, singing, reading, writing, and playing. All of our storytimes are planned using these skills which educate your children in fun, interactive, and effective ways!

At Preschool Story Time, we use interactive songs, finger plays, flannel stories, books and sometimes crafts to learn and have fun! Preschool story time is different from toddler time because at this age children’s attention spans are getting longer so we incorporate material that is appropriate for their interested mind!
