“Nurturing the Natural Learner in Every Child”
CHILDREN’S CREATIVITY MUSEUM BREAKFAST CHAT SERIES

Friday, March 23, 8:00am – 10:00am
$35 per ticket

Join us for breakfast and conversation with Shelley Goldman, Professor of Education and Children’s Creativity Museum Advisory Council Member. As the Director of the Learning Design and Technology Program at Stanford University, Dr. Goldman will lead a discussion about what young children do as natural learners and how parents and educators can foster those activities. Since children naturally explore their environments, try things out, watch, manipulate, imagine, create, and experiment, we’ll discuss ways that people and environments create opportunities for children’s learning.
