Mother Goose on the Loose 

Meets on Tuesdays and Wednesdays at 10 a.m.  

This program is most beneficial to caregivers with infants to age two. This 30-minute interactive early literacy program includes songs, stories, music and finger-plays for caregivers and babies to enjoy together. Ipswich Children’s Room staff are trained in the presentation of this well-renowned, international early literacy program. Older siblings are welcome.

Story Time

Meets on Thursdays at 10 a.m. 

This 30-minute program is for caregivers with children ages 2 through Kindergarten. Older and younger siblings are welcome. It will be followed by open playtime. Adults interact with the child in their care while listening to stories and participating in large motor skill activities, songs, flannel board activities and games. Participants are invited to stay and play/chat afterwards. This is a great program not only for parents, but for grandparents and their grandchildren or for caregivers who want to participate in Story Time with the children in their charge.
