About this event

13 Wednesdays; except Nov 11 + Nov 25 Embark on a journey inspired by the enchanting world of children's literature in our storytelling maker and play space. This thoughtfully curated class invites children, families, and caregivers to explore a vibrant environment filled with engaging, open-ended materials designed to make connections, spark creativity, and encourage play. Each session begins with a carefully selected book that introduces a unique theme, fostering connections between literacy and creativity. Following this literary exploration, children will be welcomed with imaginative invitations in a captivating play and maker space. Developed in collaboration with BeSpace Creativity Studio, known for its impactful, process-driven experiences for children and families, this class is led by veteran educator Brooke Desir, founder of BeSpace and BeBox Kids. Join us to discover the magic of storytelling and the limitless possibilities of creativity! It is of deep importance to us that our programs be financially accessible for all.
