Kick Off To Kindergarten & Toddler Learning Centers
QPL’s Kick Off to Kindergarten (K2K) program enables young children (ages 3-5) to develop their early literacy skills—and begin a lifelong love of reading! Meanwhile, their parents and caregivers receive guidance to become confident in their ability to support their child’s development. Designed to serve the needs of toddlers (approx. ages 18-38 months) and their caregivers. QPL’s Toddler Learning Centers (TLCs) are hosted at multiple Queens Public Library locations across the borough. While your children play in a safe, nurturing environment and participate in guided activities, early learning professionals will offer you advice about speech development, nutrition, early literacy, gross motor development, and much more.
