Children at the Academy Art Museum’s Mini Masters Academy recently brought in pet supplies for the Talbot Humane in honor of the holidays. Patty Crankshaw-Quimby, executive director of the Humane Society, spoke to the children about what the Humane Society does. She read a story, gave the children coloring books, and, to everyone’s delight, brought, Sparkles, a 10-week old kitten who is available for adoption.
In partnership with the Smithsonian Early Enrichment Center, the Academy Art Museum’s new Mini Masters Academy introduces young children to new ideas through a thematic approach to learning that emphasizes relationships and the ability to make meaningful connections. The rich resources of the Academy Art Museum offer a wonderful venue for teaching these sensory explorations.
Two year-olds can attend either two or three days per week, while three and four year-olds can attend up to four days per week with an option to attend a full day program. The program follows the vacation and cancellation schedule of the Talbot County Public Schools and the schedule is flexible. The Museum is hosting an informational open house on January 8 from 10 a.m. to 12 noon for the spring semester program. Complete information packets are available at the Museum or online at academyartmuseum.org. For additional information or to register, contact Janet Hendricks at 410-822-2787 or [email protected].
