Early Childhood Classes

We now offer ongoing class series for 2- and 3-year-olds and their caregivers at the Museum. These classes are similar in structure to an organized playgroup, and highlight the open-ended, creative play children love when they visit. Adults will enjoy an opportunity to meet other caregivers in a wonderful environment for children to develop social skills. Experienced Museum Educators will inspire participants to explore, discover and create while focused on a fun theme.

Space is limited to 10 children per series.
Pre-registration is required.

Members $45; General $60 (includes admission to the Museum for one adult and one child on the day of each class)
$20 each additional child
