Sensory Storytime

Series

In partnership with Occupational Therapist, Jacqui Moffatt, from Sea to Sky Community Services, we would like to invite your family to our first low barrier, inclusive story time.

In this small-group 5-week series, children ages 3-5 will share literacy, play, and exploration together with their families in our flexible space, set up to be welcoming and comfortable for all.

Children will have the opportunity to look at books, participate in movement-based language play, listen to stories, sing songs, join sensory play, or craft.

Thursdays in April 10:30 - 11:30am
