 s is a free family drop-in program for babies\, toddlers\, preschoolers\, 
 and their caregivers. Ages 0-5. \nReading and singing are two of the most 
 important activities for building early literacy and language skills\, and
  we will practice lots of both! Creating an early positive association wit
 h books by reading together (or in a fun environment like Storytime!) can 
 help foster a lifelong love of reading.  Rhymes and singing help young de
 veloping brains break apart language and make sense of it. Storytime also 
 provides socialization opportunities for both little ones as well as adult
  caregivers looking to make connections in the community. All around it’
 s a good time!
