Rokeby Museum is offering 5 FREE racial learning & anti-bias programs for young children ages 4 to 6. Racial learning is a growing field based on the science of childhood development. Racial and anti-bias learning provides children with language, concrete reasoning, and space to appreciate and make sense of our many similarities and differences. It also offers guidance to help children process and scrutinize the prejudice and inequity they observe in the world around them and learn how to act against it. Activities will include drawing, hands-on discovery, read-a-loud, and mixing paint to discover our unique skin color. Age-appropriate discussions will include laws, racism, resistance, learning about child activists, and more. While lessons are designed to be sequential, your child will have lots to take away whether you attend one or all.
