Storytime & Craft with the Greater Hartford RSCO (McMW) (Wed., Oct 14th, 10:30 AM)
We welcome the Regional School Choice Office (RSCO) for a special storytime! We’ll read What Should Danny Do? (The Power to Choose Series) by Galit and Danny Levy. Join us for an interactive storytime all about the power of choice! Kids will help decide what happens next in our story, explore different possibilities, and then take part in a fun hands-on activity where they can make choices and share what interests them. Designed especially for young children and their caregivers, this program is all about exploring, imagining, and discovering what makes each child unique.
