Educator Resources
As a model program in museum-based education for young children, the Smithsonian Early Enrichment Center provides leadership within the educational community and extends its expertise through seminars, conferences, consulting and more. SEEC supports initiatives that help link schools and museums within communities and that improve the educational experiences of all children. Museums and schools profit from the guidance of experienced SEEC professionals as they work to create innovative programs for young children that reflect the specific needs of their community.
