You’re never too young to enjoy stories — and what better place to listen to them than a nature center tucked in the woods?

Bring your kids, infants through age 5, to Tekakwitha Woods Nature Center in St. Charles for our “Story Time in the Woods” programs. The program will run from 10:30 to 11 a.m. Friday, May 18. Staff from the St. Charles Public Library staff bring books, finger plays, songs and activities that engage children and parents alike.

“It’s wonderful to see kids so young learning the joy of listening to stories,” said Nature Programs Manager Valerie Blaine. “The library staff presenting the stories really know how to engage everyone.”

Parents and children are welcome to spend time exploring Tekakwitha Woods Nature Center as well as the forest preserve’s trails, following the program.

Register by phone at (847) 741-8350 or email programs@kaneforest.com. Tekakwitha Woods Forest Preserve is at 35W076 Villa Marie Road, St. Charles.
