By Berkshires Macaroni Kid January 14, 2026

Looking for a way to burn off some toddler energy while staying warm this winter? Starting this Thursday, January 15, the Berkshire Athenaeum is teaming up with Pittsfield CFCE to host a weekly Music & Movement series that is sure to be the highlight of your morning!


This isn't your average "sit-still" storytime. Each week, children ages 5 and under (and their grown-ups!) will dive into:

  • Lively Dancing: Get those little legs moving and grooves going
  • Instrument Play: Hands-on fun with rhythms and sounds
  • Early Literacy: Weaving stories and language into musical play to help build pre-reading skills
  • Community Connection: A great chance to meet other local caregivers and kids in the Pittsfield area

Details

  • When: Thursdays, beginning January 15
  • Time: 10:00 AM – 11:00 AM
  • Where: Berkshire Athenaeum (Pittsfield's Public Library), Auditorium
  • Cost: Free!
  • Age Group: Designed for children ages 0–5 and their caregivers.

The program is held at the library's central location at One Wendell Ave., Pittsfield.
