Ways to Guide Your Child’s Learning:
Every creative art experience at BADM encourages children to engage with BADM’s seven, research-backed learning goals. Created by leaders from our research and advisory division, these learning goals speak to what children are able to gain from visiting our site.
Check out the signage on display at each program and throughout the Art Studios to see how children can participate in art programs to build STEM knowledge, Take Risks, Persist Through Challenge, and more!
