Ms. AJ will lead us in story and song throughout the year--along with some special guests--as we explore a new theme each month. Expect percussive instruments to share and play provided by our friends at Unless Kids, a couple of great reads, and a song circle, in our gender-inclusive space where all identities are encouraged to thrive.

On April 27, we're having a Girl Scout story time. This is a unique & fun opportunity for girls and families to learn more about Girl Scouts! All ages and genders are welcome to this story time and encouraged to participate, though the intended audience is 4-to-6-year-olds.

Athena, our friend from the Girl Scouts of Eastern Pennsylvania, will joins Ms. AJ and read Maybe: A Story about the Endless Potential in All of Us. She'll lead little ones in a song and craft---all while gathered around a pretend campfire!

During story time, we will be accepting pre-loved toys from attendees to give to our pals at Unless Kids, who kindly provided our instruments.
