Separating

There is magic in a story, wonder in a good book and connection during the time spent reading with someone you love. You and your child will enjoy time together reading books, singing songs and playing interactive story-stretching
activities that are all designed to build your child’s vocabulary, strengthen your relationship and foster a life-long love for reading. You will come away with tips for using stories to illustrate life experiences such as expressing emotions,
sleep, nutrition, turn-taking, diversity and school readiness concepts all while building language and literacy skills with your little ones.
