About the event
We invite families with young children who have diverse abilities to join us for our Early Bird Sensory Play program. This special event is designed to provide a calm and supportive environment where children can explore and engage in sensory activities at their own pace. Please arrive promptly as we will open the doors for those who registered in advance at 9:00 A.M.
The library will open an hour early, exclusively for this program, allowing children to enjoy a quieter, more relaxed atmosphere. Our sensory stations will feature a variety of tactile, visual, and auditory activities that are thoughtfully designed to accommodate a range of needs and preferences. Whether your child enjoys the soothing touch of soft textures, the visual stimulation of lights and colors, or the calming sounds of gentle music, there will be something for everyone to enjoy.
This is a wonderful opportunity for children to play, learn, and connect with their surroundings in a space that is both welcoming and tailored to their unique abilities. Parents and caregivers can also benefit from a supportive community, sharing experiences and resources with others.
