Upcoming Date and Time(s):
Apr 26, 2024, 10:00am — 11:30am
May 3, 2024, 10:00am — 11:30am

Cost: Full Series: $50 per child | $40 Member Youth; Single Session: $18 per child | $14.40 Member Youth
To promote reading readiness and visual literacy, preschoolers and their caregivers will explore Reynolda through activities that encourage dramatic play, music, movement, nature exploration, and art-making. Students will interact with a natural theme, work of art, location on the estate, or item from Reynolda’s collection for inspiration.
The program takes place in the formal gardens and grounds (we encourage you to bring a blanket) and indoors at the Museum. We provide all materials; however, participants may collect their own natural items.
In the event of inclement weather, programs held outdoors may be moved indoors, canceled, or rescheduled. In each series, the lessons will build upon one another, however, families may choose to attend single sessions.
