Re-envisioning Playscape—what's coming next?
Our former preschool gallery, Playscape, closed for renovation earlier this year. A new early childhood experience will open in August of 2013. The design of the new early learning gallery will incorporate four experiential worlds for young children and their families to explore. The new gallery will also offer a nursing area and a family restroom.
