Preschool Age Programs
Kuna Library Programs for Preschool-Age Children
We are so happy to have singing, dancing, crafting, storytime, movies, and STEM activities in the library again!
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.
- Masks are not required in the library but we do strongly encourage them during programs as we are in close proximity to each other.
- Program schedules may change at any time.
Thank you for your cooperation and participation!
