Toddler Time
Our new toddler-centric programming for preschoolers is a vital platform for early childhood development. These carefully curated activities, encompassing story time, music classes, and arts & crafts, cater to children aged 2 to 4, a critical stage in cognitive, social, and emotional growth. Beyond nurturing creativity and fine motor skills, this initiative fosters crucial early socialization, helping children learn essential skills like sharing and communication. It also provides quality family bonding time, offers parents valuable resources, and introduces young ones to educational environments. By including these enriching experiences with the price of admission to the CMA, we aim to make them accessible to all families, promoting lifelong learning and positive early childhood experiences. For inquiries, please contact program manager Rachael Gary at education@cmalaf.org.
Join us every Thursday from September to December at 11 a.m. for Toddler Time, included with all-day admission to the CMA.
