Early Learning Play Center
Through a partnership with the Early Learning Coalition of Flagler and Volusia the museum was able to fulfill the growing need for an exhibit that focused on engaging our youngest visitors. The Early Learning Play Center, which opened in June 2009, has already been one of the most popular exhibits at MOAS.
The center provides a bright, colorful, safe place for children ages 6 to 36 months to learn through play with a family member or caregiver. Comprised of five stations the play area challenges infants and toddlers to engage in activities that develop motor skills, encourage early literacy, and build critical cognitive processes. Each center is accompanied by an adult-height text panel that gives adults cues on how to interact with children at each station and encourage new levels of exploration.
