ACMI Preschoolers

ACMI Preschoolers is a fun and complimentary program designed for children aged two to five at ACMI, where they can explore alongside their parents, grandparents, or caregivers.

Each session offers a guided, play-based experience to help young learners engage with the museum's ideas and concepts. Every month features a different theme, such as animation, creative movement, and light and shadow play, ensuring there's always something new to enjoy and discover together.
