PORT ANGELES — Kindergarten Express, a weekly program designed for 4-to-5-year-olds, will resume at the Port Angeles Library at 10:15 a.m. Tuesday, Sept. 15.
The program at the library at 2210 S. Peabody St., is free.
The storytime series will feature picture books, finger plays, music, science projects, and crafts designed to help prepare preschoolers for kindergarten.
“More and more is expected of kindergarteners,” said Jennifer Knight, youth services librarian.
“Kindergarten Express is a celebration of picture books specifically designed to reinforce skills preschoolers are learning at home, school, or daycare.”
She said the program also gives parents and caregivers ideas about how to creatively work with the children in their lives.
After each session, parents and caregivers will have an opportunity to visit and swap information about parenting resources in the community.
Parents and caregivers who attend three sessions will also receive a free book to take home.
The program will continue at the same time every Tuesday through Nov. 24, and then resume Jan. 5 to continue until May 10.
Storytime programs are supported by the Port Angeles Friends of the Library.
