Early Learning

Calendar
Events

Every day, CCM presents imaginative drop-in programs that delight and support the developmental needs of ages five and younger. Each experience takes place in the wondrous, regularly-changing Pritzker Playspace, the fully-equipped Kraft Artabounds Studio, and the museum’s dedicated early-learning exhibits, Treehouse Trails and Kids Town.

The McCormick Foundation is a Lead Supporter of Early Learning Initiatives.
