ADAMS, Mass. — The Adams Free Library will host a free multisensory play group on Tuesday, April 22, from 6:00 PM to 7:00 PM.

The program will be presented by Emilee Reynolds, an Early Childhood Educator and owner of Miss Emillee ECE, who has over 15 years of experience in the field throughout Berkshire County.

The program is designed for children ages six and younger and their caregivers. It will consist of five stations focused on engaging different senses. These stations will include activities such as a playdough station, a music and sound station, and a tactile and touch station. A light table will also be incorporated into one of the stations. The program aims to develop academic skills in young participants through sensory play, integrating academics and play in its learning activities.

Emilee Reynolds also hosts a free playgroup on the second Saturday of each month at the Uno Community Center. Further details can be found on her website, www.missemileeece.com. This program at the Adams Free Library is partially funded by a grant from the Cultural Council of Northern Berkshires, a local agency supported by the Mass Cultural Council, a state agency.

Families with children aged six and younger are invited to attend this event. No registration is necessary, but an adult must accompany all participants. Library events are free and open to the public. Attendance at library programs implies consent to be photographed, with photos potentially used for promotional purposes in print or electronic media by the Adams Free Library.
