Day care theme kits are available here at the library on topics such as adoption, feelings, dinosaurs, pets, and more.  Each kit contains 10-12 preselected items related to a particular theme appropriate for use with preschool-aged children.

Included in each kit are books, rhymes, songs, and other activities along with information on early childhood literacy.  Anyone who uses a kit is encouraged to share their own great ideas by adding rhymes, songs, crafts, or other age-appropriate ideas to the activity folder included in the kit. Be sure to check the folder for ideas related to the theme!
