Children's Museum of Tacoma

The children's Museum of Tacoma will expand its "Partnership: Play to Learn" program to address the need for better access to high-quality early learning experiences for young children and better prepare parents and caregivers to support early learning. This project will underscore the museum's position as a community anchor, increasing its capacity to engage and serve Pierce County families by bringing this school readiness program to scale across the county. The museum will deepen programmatic partnerships with Pierce County Library and other community partners to develop a partnership model for joint program delivery, leading to a piloted approach at eight branches across Pierce County. The museum will engage an additional partner to pilot the program at five additional locations. These collaborations will allow the museum to extend the reach of its services by offering the program at more locations, thus increasing its impact on young families.
