As a response to the need to “stay home” due to the COVID-19 outbreak, we are going to broadcast, through Facebook Live and videos, a playful series of Latin American storytelling, rhymes, riddles, music and, curiosities for kids 2 to 8-year-old.  These events are in Spanish.

We invite you to connect to our Facebook Page https://www.facebook.com/vlacc/, and participate every Tuesday and Friday at 11:30 AM, starting April 7, through May 29.
