APL story times with Ms. Angela!
Early Literacy Classes teaching social skills, listening comprehension, and the foundations of reading through letters, numbers, colors, and vocabulary.
Story Times are broken up into sessions throughout the year.
NOT CURRENTLY ACTIVE Babies & More Story Time
Children and caregivers can have fun with rhymes, songs, puppets, and book time (children hold their own board books). This early literacy program lasts 20 minutes followed by playtime for social skills practice. |
Twos Time
This early literacy program is specially designed for two-year-olds. Fun activities include rhymes, songs, puppets, action activities, and stories. Following the 20 minute program, pick up Make & Take crafts and coloring sheets. |
Preschool Story Times
Preschoolers can exercise their imaginations and get ready for reading with fun rhymes, songs, puppets, movement activities, and stories. Following the 20 minute program, pick up Make & Take Crafts that coordinate with the weekly theme. |
We’d like to share with you our favorite songs & fingerplays.
