Research shows that unstructured, self-directed PLAY is essential for little ones’ healthy development.  The Children’s Museum of the Lowcountry encourages PLAY both at the Museum and at home.  The following resources are provided for families and educators to help support continuous discovery and encourage all of us to make time and space for a child’s PLAY.  Our current learning resources address the needs of parents, after school educators, classroom teachers and other grown-ups, and include helpful tips and tricks to give every child the best opportunity to learn and grow through enrichment, engagement and fun.
