Babies and Wobblers 0-36MOS

Fri, Oct 2, 10:15 AM · 2 branches

FreeDetailsClose

The Babies and Wobblers program is a combination of our Baby Social Hour and Wobblers programs - tailored to smaller groups. Descriptions for both of these programs are below. Expect a combination of all of these elements in this combined program. -- Baby Social Hour programs are for pre-walking babies (0-16 months). The first half of this program is an early literacy activity (read aloud, tactile activity, songs/rhymes or combination) and the second half of the program is a parent "social time" to allow parents to connect with one another, and for those babies to have a safe playdate space. Wobblers, the next step after Babies in the Library, is for babies, ages 16-36 months, who are not quite ready to sit through the preschool storytime. This mixes some of the freestyle elements of the Babies in the Library program, but adds a little bit more structure in preparation for Pre-School storytime
