Outcome: Initial Outcome

Stories, Songs, and Stretches!® is a startup dedicated to enhancing early learning through embodied play. Through this program, you can intentionally weave together books, songs, mindfulness, and yoga-inspired movement to create joyful play experiences that engage the whole child – body, heart, and mind. Through this program, participants work on improving early childhood development and increase physical activity. By offering the program at the McCreary County Public Library, 29 youth participated and learned how to use embodied play. 100% of caretakers surveyed said they would like to see the program continue. (The program was paused due to the COVID-19 pandemic.)
