Tiny Thursdays
Join us on the 1st and 3rd Thursdays!
Are you a toddler with an awesome parent/grandparent/caregiver who likes to take you to fun, creative weekday programs? Join us on Thursdays for our popular child and caregiver preschool program, Tiny Thursdays. Ages 2-5 and a caregiver (baby siblings welcome) are invited for story time, a gallery visit and artmaking project.
With monthly themes, each session investigates new stories and DAI collection artworks.
August – Symmetry
September – For the Birds
October – Shapes
November – Patterns
December – Emotions
