Time for Rhythm & Rhyme

Every 3rd Tuesday of the month at 10:30 am

Ideal for children 0 to 4 years of age, Time for Rhythm & Rhyme is focused on our prereaders, getting them familiar with the basics of music, lyrics, moving their bodies, and more! The goal is to help them grow and thrive as they prepare to become young readers. They may not be able to read just yet, but music is the universal language understood by all ages and all cultures!
