This registration covers the entire four weeks of Spring Storytime (we understand that you may need to miss a week or two due to illness or scheduling conflicts). So that we may accommodate as many children as possible, you may only sign up for one four-week storytime session per child.

Moving on Up! is primarily an active movement and music storytime for younger children with some stories and a very simple sticker craft or parachute activity. It’s the perfect storytime for our wiggleworms!
