Baby
Time |
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.
