Play & Learn offers families with young children (ages 0-5) an opportunity to connect in a family-friendly, educational environment. At each session, participants receive children’s books, take-home activities, and materials to use at home.
Families meet once a week to participate in parallel play experiences and explore PBS KIDS programs, apps, and resources. Families also attend workshops that explore integrating science, technology, engineering, arts, and math (STEAM) at home, and learn about developmental milestones.
Each series is 8 weeks. At each activity, we offer a snack, Circle Time, child-directed play, and group activities. Participants are exposed to music, dance, and story time.
The curriculum is aligned to the 2022 Texas Pre-K Guidelines as well as the Texas Infant, Toddler and Three-Year-Old Early Learning Guidelines, centers around learning themes, and is continuously modified to meet children's interests and abilities. Teachers work individually with families to model for them, support them and explore ways to deliver appropriate and engaging experiences in their homes.
The program is designed to promote adult/child interaction. Adults work with the child to paint, build structures, pot plants, and engage in conversation. Children learn to build healthy relationships with peers. Adults exchange ideas and experiences with one another.
