Family Learning
Partners in Play & Learning
“To foster a lifelong love of learning in children, positive parent-child interactions are critical. Exploring The Children’s Museum together allows parents and children to have fun by engaging in imaginative, creative play activities. These activities support all areas of development – physical, intellectual, social – and even more importantly – encourage attachment and close feelings between parent and child.”
