Early childhood

Baby Storytime

Join Miss Lisa for music, movement and playtime with your baby. We will help little ones build early literacy skills while bouncing, singing, exploring board books and playing together. For babies 3 to 24 months and their grown-up(s).

Storytime

Talk, sing, read, write, play! That’s what we’ll do today! Storytime models these five practices to support development of early literacy skills. Grown ups are encouraged to participate in the fun and learning! Storytime is for toddlers and preschoolers.

Kids

Chess

Chess meets September - May and is mentored by Robert Bemben and Robin Ray. Young people ages 8–18 are welcome to join. Chess tournaments are USCF rated.

Growing Readers Together is a three-pronged approach for K-3rd grade students who are below reading level to enhance their reading proficiency: direct tutoring for students, Family Literacy Nights to help families learn more skills to support their student’s achievements, and materials for students to take home.
