123 Little Leopards-Broadway September 2, 2025

Posted by kimr on

The kids at Lil Leopards Learning Centers (Broadway) learned about the library last week with the “123 the Story is Coming to Me” program. Ms. Kim taught them there are books at the library for everybody! As examples she read a REALLY BIG BOOK, a book with very few words, and a book that you can sing.

Each child was given a book of their own thanks to the donation from an anonymous sponsor.

While the school kids returned to school, younger siblings are learning at the library. This week’s theme was farm animals. The kids had so much fun practicing their animal sounds…and developing their speech and listening, but don’t tell them they’re learning.
