SEASONAL KIDS PROGRAMS |
REPEATING PROGRAMS for ages 0-5
Rhyme Time is a drop-in program intended for infants and toddlers. Every Tuesday at 10:00 am we will share stories, finger plays, music and movement activities, and more!
Children are welcome to engage with the program as much as they feel comfortable. Our intention is to introduce early literacy skills in a low-key environment, followed by social play time (for both children and caregivers!).
September to May
