Online Bilingual Storytime – Monday, Oct 11, 10 – 10:30 a.m.
The whole family will enjoy this flexible Storytime. Hearing stories is a great way to spend time with your kids and help them foster a love of reading. Stories, songs, fingerplays and movement activities foster pre-reading skills. Fun for the whole family.
Moving is Learning for Preschoolers – Wednesday, Oct 13, Noon – 1 p.m.
A moving child is a learning child.
