    Early Learning Program

    We offer a traveling storytime for young learners in Tacoma.

    This interactive early learning program includes a picture book read-aloud and craft activity. We bring a collection of museum objects to help kids to learn about their community and life in the past.

    • Listen to and engage with stories comparing the past with the present.
    • Explore colors, patterns, and community-building through quilt design.
    • Use cooperative problem-solving to play a group game.

    Contact us for more information and to schedule a program for your classroom!

    This program is designed for preschool, kindergarten, and 1st grade classrooms (ages 3-6). The content is 45-60 minutes.

    Our educational programs are fee-free for Tacoma students! We want every child in Tacoma to have the opportunity to learn about local history and their community.
