The program exposes children to new words, concepts and ideas while teaching them to pay attention in a group setting. For caregivers, storytime is a wonderful way to bond with your child and an opportunity to learn new songs, rhymes and ways of telling stories. The program also provides an opportunity to make new friends for both children and caregivers.
