Play gives children a chance to practice what they are learning.  —Mr. Rogers

Join us to help your little one start their early-learning adventure! Toddler Storytime for ages 0 to 2 is designed to help lay the foundation for lifelong learning through a combination of stories, songs, and play.

Children learn language by listening to others talk, and stories and songs help them learn how language sounds, add new words to their growing vocabulary, and begin to understand what words mean. Play helps children express themselves and put thoughts into words as they explore the world around them and build early social skills through interactions with other children.

Get active and stay strong...

Join us every week for a full-body strength-training session using resistance bands. This class is specifically designed to help older adults build and maintain strength for overall health or improved body composition. Instructor Hannah Southard will adjust the workout as needed to accommodate the individual strength levels and requirements of participants.

Please note:

• Wear clothing that will be comfortable for a light workout.
• Bottled water will be provided.
• Before you start any exercise program, it is recommended that you check with your physician.
