Baby Rhymetime

2025_Baby-Rhymetime_Web-Banner.jpg

For babies aged 0 to 18 months.

Come along and enjoy our early literacy program for newborns to crawlers and their caregivers, focusing on rhythm, rhyme and repetition.

Support your baby with their physical and social development, while firing up their brain's language centres!   

This session includes tummy time, finger play, lifting and songs, with caregivers encouraged to actively support their little ones by engaging in singing, movement and cuddles. Meet other parents and add some new songs to your arsenal!   

Make sure to bring a blanket for tummy time. 

Sessions are held weekly during school terms. No bookings required!

Please contact us if you have accessibility requirements.  

Please note

There’s space inside the library to park your pram, but please keep your valuables with you. 

All adults at this program must be accompanied by a small child. If you’re an adult at the library without a child, you can check out one of the programs designed for adults. 

Darebin is a Child Safe organisation, and conditions of entry will apply to this program. We will limit access of adults unaccompanied by children.

No photographs are to be taken during the sessions.
