Library Program & Curriculum

Early Childhood Center

Early Childhood Center students come to the library once a week for story time, where, each week, a central theme is introduced that relates to their classwork or to an upcoming Jewish holiday. The children hear stories from books and flannel boards, sing, and play with puppets. Pre-K students often act out puppet plays, as well.

During library book check-out, the children select books that they find appealing. They may be drawn to a book’s cover or the pictures, but the most important thing is that they select the book all by themselves. Children in Parent and Me and preschool 2's select from age-appropriate books that the librarian has set out. Children in the preschool 3's and PreK may browse the shelves themselves to select a book.
