Event Details

Welcome families to Stay and Play!

This program is focused towards children 0-5 years old and their caregivers. Every week we will offer snacks and refreshments, a Storytime and craft to encourage early literacy, and free play to develop fine motor skills. Select dates will include a representative from the community to come speak about various subjects relevant to children under the age of 5. 

There will be play stations set up for children to explore, learn and play while adults will be able to connect, learn and relax.

Each session will feature: 

  • 10:00-10:30am:  Health refreshments and snacks
  • 10:30am-11am:  StoryBox Kamishibai Theatre
  • 11:00am-12pm:  Free play to develop fine motor skills

Presented by Write Out Loud San Diego, "StoryBox" is the American name given to the Japanese storytelling tradition called kamishibai. StoryBox combines dramatic storytelling with a wooden theatre to showcase illustrations in an engaging family-friendly Storytime experience for all ages!
