Inspired by the Best in Early Childhood Education
We believe in the innate capacity of children to wonder, hypothesize, investigate and direct their own learning. Facilitators listen, observe, and provoke thoughtful investigations to follow the emergent interests of children within the Museum and carefully designed play-based classroom. Each learner and the collection of learners create an invested, collaborative and compassionate community that celebrates each person’s unique spark, gifts, and talents. We offer Toddler and Preschool Classes through Preschool Powered by Play.
Serving children ages 2 – 5 years old and their adults, this relationship-based program supports parental engagement in and encouragement of the natural, playful discovery process, helping prepare children to be confident and eager learners who are ready for school and their life journey.
Our Preschool Classes are offered at two locations, Hoyt Early Learning Center and the Children’s Museum of Tacoma. Three or Five-day per week classes for children ages 3 – 5 year old.
Toddler Classes are offered at both Hoyt Early Learning Center Campus and Children’s Museum of Tacoma Campus, two consecutive days a week, providing a foundation for familiarity with routine and learning through playful experiences, interactions, and environments.
Classes fill up fast, and we do hold a waitlist of applicants. Classes are available for the 3-day and 5-day pre-school classes at the Hoyt campus.
