Join us each Friday morning for AGB Storytime Studio! Designed for ages 3 to 5, this preschool program is designed to support early childhood literacy, social-emotional development, creativity, and gross motor movement through a structured and engaging group experience.

The program combines interactive reading, movement, and hands-on art activities for preschool-aged children and their caregivers. This Fall we will explore creativity and self expression. Who is an artist, and what does it mean to make art? (Hint: YOU are the artist and art can be anything!) After each storytime, explore the museum galleries with a unique self guided preschool activity designed just for you and your child.
