New Jersey Historical Society

The New Jersey Historical Society, in partnership with the Barringer Infant-Toddler Center, the Young Fathers Program at the University of Medicine and Dentistry of New Jersey, and the Nulites Program of the Urban League of Essex County have planned Partners in Learning. The project will enhance parenting skills for teen parents by providing them with an opportunity to bring their children to museums and other cultural organizations. During the visits, teen parents will learn how to use museum resources in teaching their children. The partnership will also develop a reference booklet for adolescent parents describing how to experience museums and cultural institutions with children, and provide a place to record their own experiences with non-traditional learning.
