Treehouse Childrens Museum

Log Number: MA-10-16-0392-16

The Treehouse children's Museum will create an exhibition for visitors with preschool age children that blends imaginative play, family literacy, and vocabulary development with natural sciences content drawn from early learning and Common Core standards. The project will address concerns over low proficiency scores in science among students served by the museum and will align with Head StArt's Early Learning Framework for science knowledge and skills. The exhibition will feature activity stations where children and their caregivers can investigate trees, plants, animals, birds, and seasons. Each station will provide caregivers with resources to talk with their child about their interactions with the exhibition components, suggest explorations to try, and introduce science vocabulary. Preschool groups will also have the option of participating in a 90-minute tour of the exhibition.
