Magical Preschool Camp: Story Time and Craft with Princess Heather (Ongoing)

Starting June 2022!
*Note: This class will meet for 12 weeks and then start over again with the material repeated.

It's a Magical Preschool Story Time Camp! Come join Princess Heather and me for a magical story time as we listen to original stories told through interactive slides that I have created. We will sing silly songs, complete a learning activity together, and make a craft at the end of class. 
*Please note, as this class includes an arts and crafts time, we may go longer than 30 minutes depending on how long it takes to make the arts and crafts project. You are welcome to leave at 30 minutes if you need to, but are also welcome to stay longer to finish your craft project.
