Programs for All Ages

This program is especially designed for parents and caregivers to introduce their young infants to books, songs, music, bounces and rhymes. We'll start with a 15 minute adult-child interaction portion, followed by 15 minutes of social time for babies to play and adults to chat. Due to the interactive nature of the programs, we recommend one adult per child and that only children of the appropriate developmental age attend. All sessions are drop-in and no pre-registration is required.
