Discover Together – Bay Area Discovery Museum

Discover Together Toddler Class

Toddler/Caregiver Classes

Spring Session begins March 20, enroll today 

Discover Together is the museum’s toddler-caregiver class that allows little ones to engage in open-ended, sensory play that supports their development. Spend time and build support with fellow caregivers, all on a similar journey of nurturing their little ones, as you witness their growth and learning alongside their new buddies! 

Every week, we unveil new horizons of fun and learning for your tots, where they can: 

🔵 Engage in tactile, sensory play with new materials like clay and paint to support gross-motor skills. 

📚 Share magical stories with songs and activities that spark their curiosity. 

🌱 Experience open-ended, child-led learning to build confidence and life skills inspired by our museum preschool’s educational philosophy, Reggio-Emilia.   

🏛️👶 As a bonus, every class includes free admission to the museum, so you can continue the adventure with your little one. 

Curriculum for each age group is based on the museum's research-backed framework (CREATE) and builds on itself as your child grows.
