Imagine Nation, A Museum Early Learning Center at One Pleasant St, Bristol, asks the Bristol area to come together for children during the Week of the Young Child™ going on from April 13-17, 2015. As part of the national Week of the Young Child™ celebrated across the country, Imagine Nation, A Museum Early Learning Center is honoring young children and all those who make a difference in children’s lives.
All young children need and deserve high-quality early learning experiences that will prepare them for life, and Imagine Nation, A Museum Early Learning Center has a great opportunity to help young children succeed. The Week of the Young Child™ is a time for participants to recognize that the starting years of life are the best learning years for all young children. Together we can help make a difference.
