What to Expect
Bop 2 Books is a delightful weekly program designed especially for toddlers aged 24 to 36 months. It offers a wonderful opportunity for young children and their parents or carers to engage in rhymes, music, and storytelling sessions that nurture early literacy and social skills.
Each session is lively and interactive, creating a warm and welcoming environment where little ones can explore language and rhythm through fun activities. This program is perfect for parents looking to introduce their toddlers to the joy of books and music in a supportive community setting.
The sessions are held weekly on Wednesdays, except for the first Wednesday of each month and during school holidays, ensuring a consistent routine for families.
