This collection compiles different resources to explore four connected subjects: the important role that museums can play for early learners, the functionality of object-based learning, the purpose behind and ways to discuss race & justice during early childhood, and anti-biased educational approaches in children’s books and why they matter. While this list was made for museum educators, the practices and strategies referred to can be helpful to any individual who has a child in their life.
