Hello Monica,
We do not have an on site preschool within our museum, but we do have a well attended preschool exhibit area. The exhibit space was formerly a walk through area. Large plastic waffle pieces are used at either end to mark an entrance and exit. A sandbox w/boardwalk measuring was constructed. We presently promote the exhibit as a desert with appropriate programming. We began offering bilingual programming a year ago and an additional bilingual program was added approximately six months ago. Both are successful. I am hoping you can share suggestions that address themes, programming, and science museum exhibit tie-ins.

The Science Center of Iowa has had an on site preschool for over twenty
years. I would like to share ideas and experiences with other
institutions that have an on site preschool. Is there anyone out there
that offers a similar program?

This summer, Cincinnati Museum Center at Union Terminal presents a special exhibit, sponsored by Meijer, that you can really sink your teeth into...The Science of SuperCroc, a nine-ton, 40-foot, 110 million -year-old monster that takes a bite out of the myth that T-Rex and friends were the biggest, baddest prehistoric predators around. Concurrently, the Robert D. Lindner Family OMNIMAX Theater takes you down under to the Outback as Frisch's presents...Australia: Land Beyond Time, a delightful look at nature's oddest assortment of creatures and the environmental conditions that made them so wonderfully weird.
