Toddler Time
10am-10:30am Toddler Time
The Museum hosts facilitated toddler programming every Friday morning with two sessions at 10am and 11am. Our toddler program values the whole child and supports healthy bodies and minds, with music, movement and social play for ages 5 years old and younger. It’s also free with admission.
Participation is first come, first served. Sessions limited to 20 children.
Location to change weekly – please check in with our Welcome Desk team to find out the theme and location of Toddler Time.
This program is generously supported by First 5 San Diego.
