Guidelines

• Our goal is to have fun together with rhymes, songs and books in a safe and happy space
• Plan to arrive on time – allow extra time for parking, bathroom visits and to settle your child
• Please don’t leave your child unattended at any time
• Participate with your child
• If your child is crying or disrupting others, please step out and quietly return once your child is ready
• Please put toys away as they may distract others
• No food or drink to be consumed during storytime due to allergies and possible anaphylaxis
• Please refrain from chatting with other parents during the program as this is distracting to both the session leader and the audience
• Please silence your mobiles
• Please no photography
• Have fun!
