Target Tot Spot
Encourages children ages 1 month to 3 years old to enjoy listening to having someone read to them. We also have soft toys of various sizes and shapes to increase the development of their minds. Young children love the interaction of family members especially when discovering new concepts. In the Target Tot Spot there are soft cushions, picture books, and hand friendly manipulative and of course a little ship that they can imagine sailing too far away places.
Our goal is to encourage reading to our children and helping them to discover that words can actually make sentences that form stories. A smile on a child’s face is priceless when they finally realize that the book they are exploring is also telling them a story.
One of our missions here is to make sure that all children have the ability for extraordinary experiences to dream and know that all things are possible.
Thank you Target for helping us create such a wonderful place for young children to visit.
