Hi there
I have an (almost) 3 yr old and am looking to start "purposful" homeschool activities...i.e. strucured or semi-structures. I was wondering if anyone could help me. I called the community centre etc and with the exception of signing him up for preschool from 7:30-5pm everyday they said they had no activities. We are new to the area and my little guy needs some interaction.... Thanks i=for your help! |

Hi. I have a three year old also. I am still learning about what to do in Alb, but recently ran across a preschool/adult class at the NM Natural History museum. Sounds like fun. It may be on their website, but I am not sure.

Explora, the children's science museum, offers preschool classes called, I think, Growing a Scientist. We did them when my son was 3-4, and I think they were well done.
I'm not sure if they're ongoing during the winter time, or just in spring/summer, but the zoo & aquarium also offer preschool classes that are supposed to be very good.
In both cases, I think they are shorter classes designed to have a parent attending as well. Somewhat expensive, though. |

I have been looking into the same thing. So far, I have found:
Explora, Growing a Scientist (Elizabeth already mentioned this)
Prehistoric Preschool at the Natural History Museum
UNM Music Prep School (music classes on Saturdays)
Museum school --some kind of art classes put on by the Albuquerque Museum. I haven't called them yet to ask about it, so I'm not sure what they do.
All of these are for preschool children and an adult partner and cost $$. The libraries have free storytimes and arts and crafts for preschoolers.

The Nature Center also has classes, mostly for elementary age, but occasionally for preschool age accompanied by parent.
I did take my son at that age to some storytimes at bookstores. Can't remember if it was only Bound To Be Read--which, unfortunately is shut down now. Maybe, Page One.
We did Natural History Museum and Explora. They were both great!
Also, swimming lessons at a city pool is pretty reasonably priced, summer only, but their preschool classes are fun for both child and parent. Some of the pools offer Parent/Tot classes where the parent gets in the pool with their child. Registration is in middle April, I think.
If you are religious, try your religious institution. They often have "classes" or camps during winter break, spring break, and summer vacation, according to the APS schedule. We did a one week camp last winter break at a synagogue-he did learn a lot.
I hope this helps. |
