Class is in session—and no, it’s not too early! While young children may not start their formal education until kindergarten, there is a wealth of opportunities for younger learners under the age of six to take classes that develop their minds, encourage socialization, and build confidence.
While bustling areas like New York City have several options, ranging from gyms to public parks, that give little ones the chance to learn or refine skills years before they enter a classroom, did you know that you can also enroll your youngest learners at the Children’s Museum of Manhattan (CMOM)? Caregivers looking for cultural enrichment opportunities that include scientifically backed exhibits as part of the classroom can find a new, fresh favorite place for their little ones to learn important skills needed to enter school ready to learn while playing at CMOM.
CMOM offers classes that introduce young learners to a museum setting with trained, early childhood educators who provide engaging activities through circle time, language, art, games, nature topics, science and more in a fun, enriching environment.
CMOM classes include Preschool Prep, Little Birds for ages 0–2, and Spanish Immersion classes for ages 3–6. Some Preschool Prep classes even offer Gentle Separation, where children have opportunities to socialize with each other, take class trips to the local Post Office or Fire station, and separate from their caregivers with the help of our experienced early childhood team.
So whether you’re looking to develop your young child’s skills before preschool or kindergarten or simply looking for a way for them to make new friends, CMOM’s Early Childhood Education program will give your little one the tools they need to thrive and learn –all while having fun!
