Get your groove on and strengthen early literacy skills at the same time! We’ll read one book but also do plenty of stretching, singing, dancing, rhyming, jumping, and even instrument play. You’ll have a blast helping your little one rock out. (Caregivers should plan on attending and helping little ones to engage, feel comfortable, and enjoy early literacy.)

Target Audience: 2-7 years old  |  Registration encouraged to help us plan but not required. 

Music & Movement is held weekdays on Wednesdays at 9:30 AM and 10:30 AM. Please note that we do a weekday storytime cycle of three weeks on and one week off (to allow for planning time).

  • Our current cycle starts on Tuesday, September 2. Our break will be the week of September 22-26, and the next three-week cycle will start September 29.
