Haslemere Museum Places for People Projects

Early Years

Imagination and Inspiration

The Early Years is part of the Places for People Audience Development project at Haslemere Educational Museum. This has been made possible through a generous grant from the Heritage Lottery Fund and is intended to make the museum accessible to a wider audience through focus on three strands:

• Pre-school and Carers Development Programme
• Nature & the Environment Partnership Programme
• Local History Exhibition Development Programme

This new programme offers something for everyone through a new programme of events, lectures, workshops, projects and resources.

Aims:

• Support and encourage learning as part of childcare.
• Create a programme of events and activities which will: stimulate young imaginations; inspire learning; encourage literacy, numeracy and language skills; enhance self-esteem and confidence.
• Build a young learning community using our rich social, cultural and environmental heritage as a foundation.

Programme:

• Activities for the under-5s with their parents/carers.
• Structured and tailored Nursery School Visits.
• Outreach sessions available to local nursery schools and toddler groups unable to visit the museum.
• Family-friendly drop-in events with exciting activities for the under-5s.
