Reserve your seat

Story Book Atelier is our Tuesday story time, reimagined as a small studio session. At 9:45 AM, toddlers (ages one to three) share board books, songs and gentle movement on the rug. At 11:15 AM, preschoolers (ages four to eight) hear a longer story and finish with a simple, hands-on craft inspired by the book.

Caregivers are welcome to stay with a cortado — the Kids Room opens directly onto the coffee bar, and there is always a chair with a view of the rug.

How each session unfolds

  1. 01

    Gather and connect

    A warm welcome creates a predictable beginning and allows children to settle into the space with their caregivers.

  2. 02

    Experience the story

    The book is shared using expressive reading, repetition, thoughtful questions, gestures and age-appropriate language prompts.

  3. 03

    Move and respond

    Music, scarves, rhythm, songs, dramatic movement or whole-body play extend the story and support engagement.

  4. 04

    Create

    Children explore a book-inspired invitation using art, sensory and construction materials selected for the particular story and developmental group.

  5. 05

    Close together

    A brief reflection, sharing moment or closing ritual gives the experience a calm and connected ending.
