This one-hour program from 9:30am – 10:30am or 11:30am – 12:30pm on Wednesdays from October through May is designed for preschool-aged children and is limited to 20 children each week. The program begins in the Museum with an exploration of an exhibit followed by a circle time discussion. An activity that connects the play and circle time will round out the hour. Best of all, this program is FREE with your Explore & More membership or Museum admission. Since each week is limited to 20 participants, pre-registration is required: you can register at the front desk, email dwalsh@exploreandmore.org, or call 655-5131 ext. 14 to register. This program is generously supported by the Charles D. and Mary A. Bauer Foundation.
