Story Time

CMOM’s story time is not only a chance to enjoy a good book; there are activities before, during and after the reading to help reinforce what has been read and create a fun atmosphere that will help develop a continued love of reading. Story times are 11:00 a.m. and 2:30 p.m. This special programming is included with your general admission.

Why are we interested in story time? Listening to a story and participating in discussions offer wonderful benefits:

  • Increases a child’s attention span
  • Enhances visual discrimination skills
  • Practices auditory processing
  • Examines social situations and behaviors
  • Instills a love of books

Let’s read together!
