Preschool Story Time

Story times are a wonderful way to prepare preschoolers for kindergarten. Children are encouraged to sit quietly, listen to exciting stories, and sing and dance to favorite songs. Each session will end with a simple craft activity. Storytimes will be held on Thursdays at 12:30 p.m. Reservations are recommended but not required.
