Story Time is a fun and engaging program designed to help children ages 4 - 6 prepare for or adjust to kindergarten. These sessions include a lively mix of interactive and educational activities that support early literacy, social skills, and fine motor development in a fun entertaining environment.

Here’s what a typical session might include:

📚 Stories
Age-appropriate books that focus on our summer learning program, "Unearth a Story."

🎵 Songs
Simple, repetitive songs that build language skills, rhythm, and memory. Songs often include movement to help children practice following directions and participating in a group.

✋ Finger Plays
Short, interactive rhymes using hand motions. Finger plays strengthen fine motor skills and coordination while supporting early literacy.

🗣 Rhymes
Nursery rhymes and patterned chants help children hear syllables and sounds, an important foundation for reading.

✂️ Fine Motor Skill Activities
Hands-on activities that strengthen the small muscles in the hands that are needed for writing and classroom tasks such as:

• Cutting with safety scissors

• Tracing letters or shapes

• Coloring

• Gluing

• Simple crafts

Story Time helps children build confidence, independence, listening skills, and early academic foundations—all in a playful, supportive environment.
