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.
Registration is required for a select number of reserved seats.
Questions? Call Ms. Angel ext. 2556 or e-mail angel@bcplib.org.
