Important Note:
Because of the highly interactive nature and age appropriate content of each Books Alive program, classes are usually conducted in each individual classroom. Typically, I visit each preschool classroom (2 yrs through 5 yrs). This usually takes approximately 3 hours (9:30-12:30) depending on the starting time you choose and number of classrooms participating.
