Books Alive!

Books Alive! (in the Burrow)

Free PreSchool Playgroup

At Encounter we believe that it is vitally important to expose young children to literature. Reading books together from a young age helps your child become familiar with sounds, words and language, as well as develop early literacy skills. Your child will learn to value books and stories which in turn sparks their imagination and stimulates their innate curiosity. 

Research also tells us that exposure to books helps further develop your child’s brain, their ability to focus and concentrate as well as foster social and communication skills. 

Our Books Alive! program is designed specifically for preschool children living on the South Coast. We warmly welcome new and existing families to connect and engage through books and book-related activities in a warm and nurturing environment.
