Children's Museum of New Hampshire

The Children's Museum of New Hampshire will implement "Bolstering A Childcare System in Crisis," a series of educational initiatives designed to help providers and families provide enriching, engaging, and developmentally appropriate play-based learning (PBL) activities to children from birth to age 5. In partnership with the University of New Hampshire's Early Childhood Education Center, the museum will offer professional development training for early childcare providers; provide hands-on educational opportunities for families and caregivers; and distribute PBL activity kits to 20 early childcare providers, four family resource centers, and six library partners across the state. As a result of this project, providers and caregivers will strengthen their PBL knowledge base and prepare New Hampshire's youngest children to succeed in kindergarten.
