The Children's Museum of Richmond received a $602,371 Project Grant award from the Institute of Museum and Library Services (IMLS) under the Museums for America (CFDA 45.301) federal grant program. The award, with a performance period from September 1, 2024 to August 31, 2027, will support the development and expansion of school readiness programming and resources in the greater Richmond region. Key activities include partnering with preschool centers to benefit children and families experiencing barriers to school readiness, hosting focus groups with teachers to inform the development of engagement opportunities, and providing a menu of school readiness events, art studio activities, and at-home/on-the-go resources through a digital learning platform. The project aims to enhance visitors' experiences, support staff training, and improve collections management and preservation.
