Looking for something seasonal? This option focuses on heritage months and/or holidays! From Women’s History to Halloween to Cultural Heritage Months, children will have the opportunity to expand their minds through stories, crafts and play!
California’s strength lies in the diversity of its land and people. Our cultural heritage is derived from over 300 indigenous tribal groups and immigrants from many continents. This Cultural Exploration option consists of a read-aloud featuring a book that explores one or more of the many cultures that can be found within our community, followed by a craft to help bring the story to life.
Did you know that Spanish is the second most spoken language at home in Los Angeles County? This Bilingual Circle Time option is a fantastic way to expose children to Spanish through stories and/or music! This option is fantastic for native speakers as well – children who are exposed to books in their native language tend to develop stronger pre-literacy skills than children who were only exposed to books in their second language. Isn’t it neat how our brain works?
There is so much to learn about our amazing state! Wild California Explorers dives into nature, the environment and sustainability. Children can learn all about Southern California through games, scavenger hunts and/or craft projects!
