Visit from the local Librarian
At Beststart Merivale , we are excited to share the wonderful experiences our preschoolers have had with local librarian Lynette! Her visits bring beautiful, interactive stories to life, engaging our children in a fun and educational way. Lynette’s storytimes are more than just reading—she brings books alive through participation, singing, and even acting out parts of the stories.
This interactive approach helps develop our children's literacy skills by encouraging them to listen, ask questions, and express themselves. They learn important concepts like story structure, character development, and vocabulary in a hands-on, enjoyable manner. Her visits also create a strong connection between our preschool and the wider community, demonstrating the importance of local libraries. Lynette’s sessions inspire families to explore the library together, fostering a lifelong love of reading. By collaborating with Lynette, we’re helping our preschoolers build foundational literacy skills that will last a lifetime.
We encourage parents to continue reading with their children at home and visit their local library for more exciting books and activities. We love connecting with our local community at Best-start Merivale and going on excursions into the community as well as inviting them into our centre.
