For children ages 3-1/2 to 6 and their caregivers. Children and caregivers will learn pre-reading skills through stories, songs and rhymes to help prepare them for their Kindergarten Readiness Assessment in Literature Test (KRAL). Kindergarteners will continue to strengthen their skills. Skills include answering questions, repeating sentences, rhyming words and identifying sounds and letters.

Children and caregivers join us for stories, building, and fun! Each month we will read a couple of stories to start and then the building will begin with our LEGO DUPLO blocks. We provide the books and blocks as inspiration and then your child gets hands on building time to create anything they can imagine! Related reading: The Ultimate LEGO Book
