A place to learn
The preschool program focuses on motor, social, cognitive and language development through the exploration of know-how and interpersonal skills in a museum environment.
At Pointe-du-Buisson, we believe that a visit to the museum is an experience in itself for the preschooler. It's a rhythmic, playful experience that helps lay the foundations for a child's conception of what a museum is.
A wide range of activities
To achieve this, we offer a range of activities in which the child is the master of his or her own learning. These include activities that build bridges between the museum's artifacts and the child's reality. In addition, some activities allow children to evolve in a new environment, while developing their motor skills. Other aspects of the visit allow for experimentation with games, giving children the chance to unleash their energy in a creative environment that encourages learning.
