Story programs begin the week of March 31st and continue through the week of May 12th, 2008. Please choose a story program that best suits your child’s behavior and readiness. All programs begin promptly at the stated time. Please come to the Children’s Room EARLY, so that there will be ample time for removing coats, getting drinks, using the bathroom, etc. Most programs are drop-in; however you must pre-register for our Music & Movement Program (Spring 2008 is full). PLEASE NOTE THAT THERE WILL BE NO STORY PROGRAMS THE WEEK OF APRIL 21, PUBLIC SCHOOL VACATION WEEK.
