• Seeds of Learning (SOL) Program

  Beginning in 2009, the San Antonio Children’s Museum extended its community outreach by offering Seeds of Learning (SOL) at the Neighborhood Place.
  
  SOL is an Early Childhood Education program that introduces children ages two-three years, and their parents, to activities that support the children in their development and nurture them to sprout, grow, and blossom. SOL is taught by a certified elementary teacher. Children experience a wide variety of activities that incorporate art, sensory exploration, movement, music, manipulatives, story time and dramatic play.
  
  This program is provided free of charge to families residing in the Edgewood Independent School District and requires pre-registration.
