BCLD Learn with me: Child and Parent Kindergarten Readiness Class
BCLD Learn With Me! is a kindergarten readiness program for 4-year-olds that focuses on skills needed to help children succeed in school. Learn With Me! is not preschool but instead a 45-minute parent/child program that focuses on kindergarten readiness skills. This special library program is targeting children who do not qualify for head start and who are not currently attending private preschool. The program will begin in January 7th and will be on Wednesday mornings at 9:30, every week at the Iona Branch and Tuesday mornings at 9:30 at the Westside Branch.
Registration begins November 1st 2024.

As always we at the library encourage you to share the joy of reading by either reading with someone or talking to someone about every book you read. This positive reinforcement leads to the joy of reading and can impact young and old readers lives alike.
