LEARN ·2025 Grants ChallengeExpanding STEAM-centered early childhood education
The Autry Museum of the American West’s early childhood education pilot program fosters appreciation for the arts and museums among children ages 0-5. Twice per month, children and their parents enjoy two curriculum-based, hands-on music workshops (48/year). This summer, we are adding storytelling, creative movement, and dance workshops. With LA2050's support, we will further expand our early childhood education program by adding an additional 48 workshops dedicated to STEAM. We will also pilot offering the program to children ages 6-10.
