Little Farmers Storytime

April Session

Thursdays from 10am-11am

Have fun on the farm and in the garden with your preschooler while practicing early reading skills!

This 1 hour class is designed for emergent readers ages 3 – 5 years and builds connections between the five senses, caring for farm animals, planting and growing food, farm machines, and music with early literacy components (reading, writing, listening, speaking, viewing, and visualization).

Each class will begin with a song/story/activity component indoors and continue with a trip to the garden or farmyard.

This is a fun, age-appropriate class with lots of hands-on activities for a child/caregiver team paired with the best in children’s literature.
