Storytelling is an effective educational tool that features strongly across all cultures since human language evolved. Today, it is rarely heard in conventional learning environments. This paper describes an educational program based on storytelling. Research shows that storytelling has the ability to build a greater sense of community, enhance knowledge and memory recall, support early literacy development, and expand creative potential in young children. This program explores storytelling's potential for this through a broad range of extension activities. Conclusively, it is argued that storytelling has a highly effective role to play in the education of young children.
