As a bilingual household, I searched and researched for bilingual storytimes for my kids once they had been infants and toddlers. It seems that many Melbourne council libraries supply bilingual storytime! These periods are usually free drop-in periods which run throughout the college time period. They provide you an opportunity to fulfill different bilingual households and kids, assist your baby develop language and motor abilities and provide an opportunity to listen to and follow one other language.
If you want to take a look at the usual storytimes, try our Melbourne Library Storytimes put up for all periods from infants and toddlers, proper via to pre-schoolers.
