Learn
Join us for a free playgroup-style pre-K class for diverse little learners and their parents/caregivers. This 45-minute class will meet the needs of children who benefit from a multi-sensory, flexible learning approach, and adapted materials.
Children will have the opportunity to play in the museum at a quieter, sensory friendly time. Themed child-centered activities will be provided that focus on social-emotional, pre-academic, communication, and motor skills.
Parents will have the opportunity to connect with each other in a supportive environment. We will also provide follow up activities for home and advocacy resources.
