Join Miss Diane for a themed storytime designed to help develop your child’s literacy skills while creating lasting memories together. We will read some charming picture books, recite some flannel board rhymes and even sing a song or two.

Join Miss Callie every Wednesday outside by the garden path for stories, songs, and rhymes! Blankets will be provided to sit on while supplies last. 

Join Ms. Maggie for Polish storytime, and enjoy crafts and games that encourage creativity.
