Good to know
By the numbers for this age in Wellington: 45 dated listings in the next 60 days; 2 fall on a weekend and 1 start in the evening (the pyjama-storytime slot); the busiest single venue is Te Matapihi ki te Ao Nui Central Library with 9 of them.
Why this looks familiar: most of these programs — storytime is the big one — span ages 1–3 to 3–5, so the same sessions appear on the toddler page too. That's the library's age range, not a mix-up; where a program is only for this age, it shows only here.
Free, as marked in the feed: Raphael House School and Kindergarten Information Session. Those listings carry a free tag in Wellington's own event data — everything else here, check the listing link for the price before you promise anyone.
Rainy-day fallback: most of this age's listings in Wellington run indoors at Island Bay Library, Johnsonville Library, Johnsonville Library at Waitohi Hub — warm, dry, and built for short attention spans.
