Library
Library time is offered to children in the Three-Year-Old Preschool classes through Kindergarten. Young children are exposed to the Library with their classroom teacher as they explore language through text. As children enter into the prekindergarten and kindergarten levels of our program their Library experience includes new stories, book buddies, a discussion of the story presented, and then a reinforcement or recreation of the story through activities that develop their imagination. After the story time, children are free to browse the books in the library. Children enrolled in the Kindergarten Class are able to check out the library books to take home and share with their families. Many developing language skills, written, aural and oral, are reinforced through literature.
