Kuna Library Programs for Preschool-Age Children
As a way to keep our patrons and staff as safe as possible, we ask that you abide by the following protocols when visiting the library:
- Class sizes are limited, and spots are given on a first-come, first-serve basis.
- If you or your child are not feeling well, please don’t attend our programs or visit the library.
- All programs are subject to change without notice.
Thank you for your cooperation and your participation!

This is a kindergarten readiness program designed for preschoolers who will attend school in the fall of 2025. It is a parent (or adult caregiver)/child class, with one-hour sessions designed to work on skills to help a child prepare for school through interactive play, hands-on activities, and focused instruction for parents. The program runs from September 2024 to April 2025.
