The Smithsonian Early Enrichment Center is offering an
innovative training program for museum professionals
and early childhood educators interested in using
objects to teach young children.
This two-day program, which will be held at the
Smithsonian Institution on June 26 and 27, 2002, will
demonstrate how a host of museum objects—including
paintings, sculptures, an African headrest and a
spinning wheel—can help children, as young as two or
three, learn about themselves and the world around
them.
Featuring hands-on exercises with museum objects,
slide presentations, lectures, and discussions, the
program is designed to help museum educators forge
more creative encounters with young museum-goers, and
to introduce early childhood educators to the magic of
museums.
Participants will be encouraged to think expansively
about tapping resources in their own
communities—resources such as objects in local museums
and community centers, statues, public art, bridges,
buildings, fire hydrants and more. All objects, even
commonplace ones, tell stories. But you have to know
how to read them. That’s what “Learning through
Objects” is all about.
