Every Wednesday in the Early Learning & Family Resource Center, our ELF coordinators host a story time in which they or a volunteering community member read a story to local children aged birth to 5. Afterwards, they help the children make a craft and the kids dance to a song and have a snack. Story time is a free family-friendly activity for any child under 6 in Columbus County.
While you're here, check out the books and parenting resources available for loan. ELF is a lending library. For more information, call 910-212-6352.

Science has determined that the earliest years of life build the foundation for all future learning and success. The brain of a child who has had positive early childhood experiences looks different from one who has not. The structure and wiring are visibly and significantly different.
