This nine-week program for 2 1/2- to 3 1/2-year-olds begins with three weeks of parent-child classes. The next three weeks, children are in their own classroom but grownups are nearby as they participate in a parenting program conducted by staff from St. Louis Children's Hospital. In the final three weeks, adults may either stay for coffee in the museum's Picnic Basket Cafe or enjoy some free time away from the museum as children go to school all by themselves!
