How to make the most out of storytime:
- Arrive on time or a few minutes early.
- Encourage your child to be a good listener.
- Encourage your child to join in, but don’t force participation. Many children enjoy and benefit from just watching.
- Step into the hallway with your child if they feel overwhelmed or need a break. You may come back in when your child is ready.
- When caregivers participate in storytime, it models good behavior and makes storytime fun! Please silence your phones, save conversations for later, and enjoy this special time with your child.
