| Lapsit Storytimes
|
|
Lapsit is designed for children from birth to 24 months of age.
Exposure to the rhythms of language and music can help introduce very young
children to books and reading. Traditional rhymes, basic fingerplays,
tickles, bounces, and activity songs, as well as circle activities that utilize both large and small motor skills are
incorporated in the Lapsit program.
In addition, caregivers work with their children which helps to build the bond between them.
Each program includes a page of rhymes, songs, etc. for the caregiver to take with them and try at home.
