Last summer The Aldrich piloted an innovative new program for young children focused on building creative thinkers, titled New World Kids and the Next Literacy. Under the guidance of guest educator Susan Russell Marcus, twelve children explored a new way of looking at and understanding the world around them, and parents learned about the individual strengths that will help their children to learn productively in the future.
This summer, The Aldrich is ready to open the program to the public, inviting a new group of young children to participate. The Museum believes in the importance of developing programs that prepare young minds to learn and grow in a future that will require visual literacy and innovation.
New World Kids is a program proven to engage children with the creative thinking processes, the capacity to invent with many media, the ability to think across disciplines, and the reliance on (and joy in) the imagination.
For more information, or to register for the program, contact Laura Kaufman at The Aldrich, 203.438.4519 ex. 23; lkaufman@aldrichart.org
