About Boogie Down Storytime
Boogie Down Storytime is a family-friendly experience that cultivates early literacy awareness through joyful reading experiences. Each storytime is led by our Storytime Manager Wesley Sanders and our Movement Coordinator Jasmine Cintron, generally lasts about 45-60 minutes, and includes:
- Interactive read-aloud
- Routines like mindful breathing that build social-emotional skills
- Welcome shoutouts to honor each individual child in our community
- Movement inspired by the book, led by Bronx yoga teacher Jazy Cintron
