Springfield and Central Illinois African American History Museum collected our student's artwork and then had the pieces professionally framed and hung to create an exhibit at the museum.
All of the pieces of art were either created by an African American artist or they depict the African American experience.
We appreciate the AAHM & their commitment to showcasing our students' work in celebrating Black History.
You can visit the gallery February 18th - March 31st, Tuesday - Saturday 12:00 pm - 4:00 p.m.
Early Learning Center students love to learn through play. They call it “doing their job.”
This week our little learners are exploring measurement tools, home technology (the phone), and identifying similarities & differences through matching.
It is exciting to see our little learners growing and enjoying education! 💛
