Library Programs
Staff members from the Bloomington and Normal Public Library visit each of our locations periodically to read with all the classrooms. Our pre-school and pre-k classes also take field trips to the libraries for story time. If your child becomes involved in our summer program, they will have the opportunity to participate in various library reading programs. Students will be challenged to read different stories, use their imaginations, and further their literacy skills while also winning fun prizes!
