What does a museum do with a kindergartener who walks through the
door? The growth of interest in young children learning in museums
has joined the national conversation on early childhood education.
This is the first book for museum professionals that focuses on
this intersection. Written by the founding Executive Director of
the innovative Smithsonian Early Enrichment Center, this concise
volume provides essential guidance for museum professionals to plan
programming for young children. Sharon E. Shaffer explains the
various ways in which children learn, then shows how to use this
knowledge to design effective programs using a variety of teaching
models. Replete with examples of successful programs and tested
activities to employ in your institution, Shaffer presents a set of
best practices for developing early childhood learning programs.
