Each week, your child will get a handout with the books, songs and other activities we've enjoyed. Sing the songs and do the activities during the week with your child. Select books from the library to read at home.

Remember that reading to your child is the most important thing you can do to encourage a love of books and reading. To learn more, visit our Road to Early Literacy page. For current program dates and times, visit our event calendar.
