Kids from infancy to five years old will rule the town at Little West Side. They will learn about color at the grocery store, tell time at the clock tower, build a city skyline and drive a mail truck to the post office. When they have explored a wide range of fun activities, they can sit back, relax, and read a terrific book. Little West Side encourages kids to explore math, the world of color and also promotes literacy.
