Guidelines and Tips for Storytime
Arrive Early Allow you and your little one time to hang up your coats and get ready for storytime. Storytimes start promptly at their scheduled time. Once the door is closed, do not enter the storyroom.
Visit the Bathroom Leave enough time for a trip to the bathroom before storytime begins. Preschoolers who need to use the restroom during their storytime will not be allowed to re-enter.
Prepare for Preschool Time Preschool Time is an independent storytime for children ages 3 to 5 years old. Prepare your child (and yourself) to attend without an adult. If your child isn't ready to attend alone, please consider Family Fun.
Behavior Expectations Young children like to explore but they should not prevent other kids from enjoying their storytime. Negative behavior will not be tolerated so discuss this beforehand, it would be disappointing if your child needs to leave storytime.
Courtesy to All
Cell phones should be silenced at the beginning of storytime. Nothing ruins a good story like a ringtone, no matter how catchy the tune. Also be sure your child leaves any of his/her stuffed friends and toys outside the story room. Please do not bring food or snacks to storytime.
Participation Your child learns by watching...you. It helps everyone (especially your child) if you participate rather than visiting with the parent next to you.
Storytime at Home We emphasize literacy in all of our programs, often through playful activities. Children learn through play, so think of this as your 30 minutes a week to pick up fun new activities to try together at home.
