Basic Rules for Toddler Programs

 Our toddler programs, Wonderful Ones and Terrific Twos, have become quite popular and are very full!  Please review some of these basic rules to help us keep the programs smaller, quieter and more fun for everyone. With your help, we can develop and nurture your child's love of books and the library more effectively.

1.      Please attend only one toddler program per day.  Space is limited in our programs and we want to make sure everyone has a chance to attend.

2.      Please attend the program for your child's age group.  One year-olds should not attend the program for two year-olds, and vice versa.

3.  Please participate with your child! You will provide a model for your child by paying attention and directing your child's attention to the stories, singing the songs and performing the fingerplays. This is especially important if your child is a little bit shy.

3.      Please chat with friends after the program.  Everyone has more fun if we all join in! Time will be available at the end of the program for socializing. 

4.      Please keep your child in your lap or nearby. We expect toddlers to explore and move around, but try to keep your child close so that they will not obstruct the view of others and you can help focus their attention.

5.      Please leave the program room if your child is restless or distracting.  This helps everyone to concentrate on the program. You are always welcome to step back in when your child quiets down.

6.      Please plan to arrive early.  Young children are easily distracted and latecomers become the focus of attention.

We're hoping that if we all follow these rules, pre-registration and class-size limits won't become necessary.

Does anyone have a policy pertaining to storytime etiquette you'd be willing to share?

Thank-you!
