Louisiana Children's Museum

The Louisiana Children’s Museum will support a multifaceted literacy program called “Word Play,” which addresses language and literacy development in the three domains of a young child—home, school, and community/museum. The program will expand the offerings through a dedicated programming space called a Literacy and Documentation Center. Word Play will engage a professional advisory committee to shape the core components, goals, and standards for the project. Family programming around literacy and parents’ documentation of their child’s learning will unfold through new activities in the literacy center located onsite at the museum. School-based programs for students between pre-K and third grade will engage specific children on a daily or weekly basis, working with long-term partner schools or sites.
