Boston Children's Museum

The Boston Children’s Museum will partner with the Boston Public School’s Office of English Language Learners and the Building Educated Leaders for Life program to implement a Summer Club to prevent summer learning loss. The program’s three-part family engagement includes: 1) informing parents about summer learning and school success opportunities at the museum and from community partners; 2) a five-week Friday night family summer camp with museum-based learning activities for immigrant children and their parents; and 3) an evaluation component of the impact of family engagement on summer learning. The museum will develop the Summer Club curriculum, train and supervise Teen Ambassadors for Summer Club students and other young visitors, and offer bilingual Parent Ambassador Hosts, guest speakers, and summer learning resources to facilitate parent learning and sharing.
