Children start learning to read the day they're born, and every experience establishes new brain connections. If your child grows up in a stimulating nurturing environment, it increases the childs ability to learn by 25%. That's why a child's early years are especially important. To raise a reader, take time each day to sing, talk or share a book with your child.
Toddler Storytime is:
• A time for you and your toddler to participate and interact
• Books, stories, rhymes, music and movement
• 20 minutes of fun!
