ADAMS Mass. — Adams Free Library is hosting a free, literacy event for families that is multi-sensory and based on children's books on April 23, from 6:30 to 7:30 pm.

 

The event is presented by Emilee Reynolds, an Early Childhood Educator and owner of Miss Emilee ECE. Reynolds has more than 15 years of experience working in the field throughout all of Berkshire County and we are excited that she is returning to share her curriculum with the Adams community.

 

The program is for children ages 6 and under and their caregivers. It will include stations that engage different senses, coupled with connections to various children's books. The activities include a playdough station, music and sound station, and a tactile and touch station. A light table will also be utilized in one of the stations. The goal of the program is for the young participants to build academic skills through sensory play. Reynolds's program weaves academics and play together so all participants enjoy the learning activities.

 

This program is funded in part by a grant from the Cultural Council of Northern Berkshire, a local agency which is supported by the Mass Cultural Council, a state agency.

 

Families with children ages six and under are invited to attend this multi-sensory literacy event on Thursday, April 23,  from 6:30 to 7:30 pm. No registration is required, and an adult must accompany participants. Library events are free and open to the public.
