Sensory Story Time FAQ:  

  • Who can attend Sensory Story Time? 

    • This story time is for children of all abilities ages 2-5 and an accompanying adult. These children may or may not have sensory needs. Everyone can benefit from sensory story time!  

  • How is it different from regular story time?
