Do your best to arrive on time. If you arrive late, please enter quietly and find a seat with your child.
Children get the most out of story time when their caregiver is actively participating. Sit with your child and encourage their participation throughout the program.
Limit distractions by putting away toys, food, and drinks. Have a snack before coming in.
Story Time not for you today? That is okay. You can always exit quietly and try again another time.
Story Time success takes practice, and every child is different. Be patient and kind to yourself and others.
