Baby storytime, plus opportunities to build relationships with other caretakers of young children! For ages 0-14 months, accompanied by an adult. 15 months and older, please attend 1s and 2s.

Baby Bounce is an opportunity for little ones to develop early literacy and social skills while giving caregivers a space to build community. We will begin with a short storytime, followed by a playtime with toys where caregivers can chat.

This fall, caretakers of children who are 12, 13, and 14 months old may choose to continue attending Baby Bounce or move up to 1s and 2s Time. When making this decision, consider your child's developmental stage; for example, children who are not yet walking might be more comfortable at Baby Bounce, while those who can walk independently may get more out of 1s and 2s Time. Children 15 months and older will graduate to 1s and 2s Time, which takes place on Wednesday mornings.

Get a ticket to attend at the Youth Services desk starting at 12:45.
