The Scott Family Amazeum believes children are naturally curious and have a built-in drive to ask questions. Our Early Learner programs create a play environment that allows for young children (and their caregiver) to engage their natural curiosity, build on skills they already have, and take on new challenges.
Partners in Play is designed especially for children ages 6 and younger to explore, play and discover with their adult caregiver. This drop-in program that embraces children's natural curiosity and develops an interest in science, technology, engineering, art and math (STEAM). Be curious and investigate together as play partners! Monthly themes build your child's sense of wonder and playfulness as you engage together in curiosity and hands-on discovery.
Partners in Play is included in daily admission and Amazeum membership. No additional fee or registration necessary to participate.
Partners in Play is available on Mondays, Wednesdays, Fridays and Saturdays from 10am-12pm in Studio Grow.
| May's Theme | My Emotions: Emotions, meltdowns, and tantrums are hard to process for the adult, and child. We'll explore and build language around emotions through storytelling, and imaginary play. |
