LAP and Lapsit programs

Registration for LAP and Lapsit

It is now time for parents to register for the LAP and Lapsit programs at the Cross Plains Library.  The “Learn About…Program” is the pre-school program for children ages 3-5 held every Wednesday from 10:00 – 10:45 beginning November.  Your child must be 3 years old by Sept. 1,  to attend.  “Learn About…” Program gives pre-school children the opportunity to sing, learn fingerplays, hear stories, do an activity, and check out books from the library, as well as enjoy refreshments.  The program runs from November until the end of April. 

The Lapsit program is for infants from age 0 till the age they can go into the LAP program. Much of the research done in the field of early childhood development has shown that toddlerhood is a crucial time for learning. This program is geared to infants to help them develop language and cognitive skills to start them on the road to learning to become better readers and writers when they reach school. Stories, fingerplays, songs, and games repeated at home, all add to a child’s cognitive development. 

The Lapsit program has gone under reconstruction from the last year.  The program will run the same time as the LAP program as to give the Moms a chance to bring children of both age groups the same time as to opposing times of the week.  The weekly programs have taken on a new look for more learning and the new rules do not require an adult with each child.  If you have two children in this age group, bring them both as long as one parent is present.
