IN THE GARDEN (October 4 - November 1)
Grab your little one and join us as we dig into everything that thrives, grows, and visits our very own community garden! Through creative drama, music, and beloved storybooks, we’ll plant the seeds of imagination and grow right alongside the season, meeting curious garden critters, singing garden songs, and discovering a little magic in the small things along the way, incorporating characters and themes from The Very Hungry Caterpillar and other wonderful stories. Sunday Story Jams will help develop your child’s fine and gross motor skills, early literacy, and blossoming creative spirit.
FOREST FRIENDS (November 8 - December 13)
Bounce like a bunny, scamper like a mouse, or hoot like an owl as we play in the forest together. Through creative drama you and your little one will explore woodland creatures, discover the mysteries of the forest, and sing songs all while expanding social-emotional and motor skills, and building confidence expressing your creative sides as you play together. Each Sunday a different book will be read including stories from Beatrix Potter’s collection like Peter Rabbit! Sunday Story Jams will help develop your child’s fine and gross motor skills, early literacy, and blossoming creative spirit.
