Young children will love it!
By Adele Douglas
What do you do when you retire from teaching and still love kids? Two of Peru Primary’s recent retirees have developed a story program for young children and are offering it twice a month at the Peru Free Library. Diane Sabourin (Music) and Esther Dominy (Kindergarten) have been working regularly together on this effort for about a year now and carefully plan out each program, making sure that the kids are entertained and involved. They also introduce some of the concepts and vocabulary the children will encounter in kindergarten. Another objective of the program is to get kids comfortable with coming to the library and enjoying the basement room set aside for children at the Peru Free Library. With fingerplays, songs, movement and stories, these hour long sessions go by quickly and have been very well received. “The kids love it” says Donna Wolf, who regularly brings her nursery school.
Peru Free Library Winter Pre-school Story Times Schedule:
Thursdays from 10am to 11am
- January 14th – Snow Business
- January 28th – Winter Tales
- February 11th – Friends
- February 25th – Our Favorite Stories
- March 18th – Farm Friends
