Preschool Age Programs
Kuna Library Programs for Preschool-Age Children
As we begin resuming our in-person programs the following protocols are in place, and will be enforced, as a way to keep our patrons and our staff as safe as possible:
- All persons over the age of 3 are required to wear a mask during programs and while in 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.
- Not all programs are being offered at this time.
- Program schedules may change at any time.
Thank you for your cooperation and participation!
Kinder-Set Go!

Registration required
A kindergarten readiness program designed for preschoolers that will attend school in the fall of 2021. This is a parent (or adult caregiver)/child class, with one-hour sessions designed to work on skills that will help a child get ready for school through interactive play, hands-on activities, and focused instruction for parents.
The current session of Kinder-Set Go! is full. Registration for the 2021-2022 school year begins in June.
For more details contact Alaina at (208) 922-1025.
Kinder-Set Go! is made possible by support from Tell Me a Story/Joshua’s Memorial Book Drive.
Mini Monets
Offered Monday at 11:30 am
For children ages 3-6 and their caregiver
Each session of Mini Monets begins with a story followed by an art project that encourages kids to create with and explore different mediums and tools.
Sessions last 15-30 minutes depending on the project. If the project needs to dry it will be kept at the library until the next time the child attends a Mini Monets session.
Limited to 16 families on a first-come, first-served basis.
Masks are required during programs for everyone ages 3 and up.
Arrive early, as no one will be permitted once the class has started.
Storytime/Music & Movement
Offered Tuesday and Thursday at 10 am and 11:30 am
For children ages 3-6 and their adult caregiver, however, all ages are welcome
We are combining two of our favorite programs into one fun-filled half-hour program with Storytime activities and Music & Movement singing and dancing!
The program begins with Storytime where at least 2 books are read and a take-home craft is offered. Storytime lasts about 15 minutes. As soon as Storytime is over, we immediately transition into Music & Movement. Participants are given a bag with instruments that are used for the class (these instruments are sanitized after the program). The class leader uses songs that encourage both fine and gross motor skills. Caregivers are encouraged and expected to participate with the child.
Masks are required during programs for everyone ages 3 and up.
No registration is required.
To maintain social distancing, class size is limited and spots will be given on a first-come, first-serve basis.
Toddle Time
Offered Monday at 10 am
For children ages 0-3 and their caregiver
An interactive, yet socially distanced class that includes songs and stories that encourage interaction between the adult and child. Toddle Time lasts approximately 20 minutes.
Masks are required during programs for everyone ages 3 and up.
To maintain social distancing, class size is limited and spots will be given on a first-come, first-serve basis.
