Sensitive Storytime offers a welcoming and calm environment tailored for children with sensory sensitivities. This session is designed to be fun and comfortable, ensuring your little ones feel safe and engaged.
The group size is smaller than usual, allowing for a more focused and relaxed experience. Children will enjoy shortened storytelling sessions complemented by playtime and the use of fidget toys to help maintain comfort.
Parents can expect a flexible approach that adapts to the needs of each child, with picture schedules and finish boxes to provide clear structure and predictability.
This weekly event runs every Tuesday during school terms from 10:30 to 11:30 in the morning. It is suitable for children aged 2.5 years and older.
The session includes carefully chosen stories and activities that support sensory sensitivity, making it ideal for children who benefit from a quieter, more controlled environment.
To participate, registration is required via email, ensuring the group remains small and manageable.
The event takes place at Springvale Library, located at 5 Hillcrest Grove, Springvale. The library is accessible and welcoming, with facilities to support families and children.
Parking and public transport options are available nearby, making it convenient for parents to attend with their children.
The library staff are experienced in providing assistance and can offer additional support if needed to ensure a positive visit.
