 This Month: Nursery Rhyme Play-stallation

  We invite families to come and enjoy our current Play-stallation — Nursery Rhymes, Stories and Songs. This literacy-rich theme has been a big hit for children who love the activities, crafts and books related to all-time favorites like The Three Little Pigs, The Old Woman Who Lived in a Shoe, Humpty Dumpty, Old McDonald's Farm, and more.  As an added bonus, the Play-stallation also features books with nursery rhymes from Africa,  Asia, and in Spanish. Enjoy this theme now through the end of March.
