Calm and Quiet Storytime offers a welcoming and sensory-friendly space perfect for young children who benefit from a quieter, more inclusive setting. This session is ideal for children aged 2 to 6 with sensory sensitivities, those on the autism spectrum, or simply those who prefer a calmer environment than typical storytime sessions.
Enjoy interactive short stories, gentle songs, movement activities, and bubbles in a small group setting that fosters comfort and engagement. The atmosphere is designed to be calm and quiet, allowing children to participate at their own pace without overwhelming stimuli.
This event takes place on the second and fourth Thursday of each month from 11:00 to 12:00. It does not run during school holidays, so be sure to check the schedule ahead of time. Bookings are essential to secure a spot, ensuring the group remains small and manageable.
Held in the St Kilda Library Community Room at 150 Carlisle Street, St Kilda, the venue is fully wheelchair accessible. The library is committed to accommodating additional needs, so please contact them if you require any support to access or enjoy the event.
This storytime is specifically designed to support children with sensory sensitivities and those on the autism spectrum. It provides a safe, inclusive environment where children can enjoy stories and activities without the noise and bustle of larger groups.
Attendance is free, but bookings are essential to maintain the small group size and ensure a quality experience for all participants. Reserve your spot via the provided booking link or contact the library directly for assistance.
