See one of every child’s favorite story characters in person at Kiddie Academy Sept. 24, where Curious George himself will jump off the page and into the classroom for the childcare provider’s Storytime LIVE! event.
Attendees will enjoy a story highlighted by a visit from the story’s lead character at the event, which goes from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. at Kiddie Academy, 150 Monterey Road, Suite 150.
Storytime LIVE! is open to everyone, including Kiddie Academy’s current students, new friends who want to learn more about the facility and its programs, or anyone who just wants to share the experience with their child, reads a release from Kiddie Academy.
Light refreshments and educational activities for children and families will be provided. Parents are encouraged to bring their cameras to capture the excitement and smiles.
“Reading aloud is widely recognized as the single most important activity leading to language development, as it builds word-sound awareness in children,” adds the release. “Research shows that reading aloud to young children is not only one of the best activities to stimulate language and cognitive skills, but it also builds motivation, curiosity and memory.”
Kiddie Academy serves families and children age 6 weeks to 12 years old, with full-time childcare, kindergarten, and before- and after-school and summer camp programs. For more information, visit kiddieacademy.com.
