The Models of Access Report describes an initiative designed and enacted by the American Museum of Natural History’s Children and Family Learning group. The initiative involved exploring Pre-kindergarten partnerships with two local Head Start Pre-K programs and two New York City public schools. Family engagement, professional learning for teachers, and class visits were all components of the initiative. The report provides examples of the work within the initiative and recommendations for pursuing partnerships between informal institutions and Pre-K programs in order to expand access to exemplary science learning for children across Pre-K settings.
