Children's Museum Houston

The Children’s Museum of Houston, in partnership with the Houston Public Library and others, will develop and make available nationally multilingual kits that will increase literacy and family learning through “CLiCK: City of Learners/Collection of Kits.” The project builds on two earlier IMLS-funded National Leadership Grant collaborations, “Tot Spot,” which studied learning in early childhood and provided information to caregivers, and “Para los Ninos,” which extended the project to Hispanic communities. The new project will engage two additional cities—Brooklyn, New York; and San Jose, California. Language kits including Vietnamese, Cantonese, and Spanish will be developed to meet the needs of audiences in each city.
