Calling all bookworms! Ballard Preschool Co-op (BPC) is thrilled to present its monthly Ballard Bookworms story time, a free community program for children and their caregivers. Join BPC's beloved Teacher Christine for a fun and engaging story time experience designed to spark a love of reading and build connections within our community. Christine teaches, the Infants Class, the 3-5s/Pre-K Class, the Mixed Age Class (MAC) and one of our NEW OUTDOOR CLASSES Mini Explorers.
Our special guest this month is Danielle Beiling, MPH, a Ballard mom of two and certified children’s yoga instructor. She is passionate about sharing yoga as a movement and mindfulness practice which promotes children’s joy, strength, and resilience. In Sunday’s class children will embody animals to explore poses, breathing exercises, joyful movement, time to relax, and much laughter.
The event will be hosted from the band stage in the Ballard Locks’ Carl S. English Jr. Botanical Garden. Caregivers are encouraged to bring blankets as guests will be sitting on the grassy lawn. Should it rain, the event will be moved inside to the Visitor Center.
