children showing their artworkA necessary part of the museum's preschool program is to provide continued professional development for preschool and elementary teachers, university undergraduates, professional artists and interested parents and members of our community. The development of workshops and teacher in-service programs will help to train public school teachers on early childhood development in the arts as well as establishing an enhanced arts environment for preschool children outside of the Museum. To have yourself added to our preschool mailing list, and receive more information on preschool workshops, please contact a member of our education staff.
