What happens when a former preschool teacher leads story time? In this interactive session, we'll explore how early childhood education principles can transform library programs into engaging, developmentally rich experiences.
We'll examine how young children learn through child development theory, classroom rhythms, and intentional transitions—applying these ideas to story time practices that feel natural and playful. You'll try strategies supporting attention, movement, and engagement while we share ideas, troubleshoot challenges, and celebrate successes.
Whether you're new to story time or a seasoned veteran seeking fresh inspiration, this session helps you view programs through a preschool teacher's lens.
