NEWS RELEASE
CITY OF LONGMONT
*************************
More than a dozen children and their families were present Tuesday night as Longmont Mayor Joan Peck proclaimed next week, September 4 – 9, to be Longmont Museum Discovery Days Week in front of City Council.
Discovery Days is an early childhood education program that invites children ages 2 to 6 and their parents or caregivers to engage together in hands-on art, music and movement activities.
In addition to fun and creativity, Discovery Days teaches important school-readiness skills, such as language development, attention, concentration, fine motor skills and emotional regulation.
No registration is needed for this program, which is offered five days a week with three sessions per day. This season, the Longmont Museum has added Saturday classes in order to accommodate more working families. Each week of classes has a new theme, such as “under the sea,” “dinosaurs” or “fairytales.”
Classes are only $2.50 per person, and scholarships are available thanks to support from the Dodge Family Fund and Stewart Family Foundation.
Fall classes run September 5 – December 16.
Learn more about Discovery Days and see the full fall schedule online or call 303-651-8374.
