PITTSFIELD, Mass. — Berkshire Museum announced a partnership with the Pittsfield Coordinator Family and Community Engagement (CFCE) Grant, funded by the Department of Early Education and Care, and in collaboration with Berkshire County HeadStart. 
 
This collaboration aims to bring enriching and accessible programming to families with preschool-aged children through the WeeMuse STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Art, and Math) program at no cost.  
 
The program follows a theme-based approach where families engage in a variety of activities at 5 discovery stations, each representing Science, Technology, Engineering, Art, and Math. Each discovery station will include clear directions and a "What my child is learning" section, making concrete connections to The Department of Early Education and Care standards and curriculum guidelines. Families will receive a take-home packet at the end of each session with extension activities they can do at home. 
 
"The Berkshire Museum is excited to collaborate once again with Berkshire County Headstart to provide free educational opportunities to our littlest learners," said Jesse Kowalski, Berkshire Museum's Chief Curator.
 
The WeeMuse STEAM program runs January 17 and 31, February 14 and 28, March 13 and 27, April 10 and 24, and May 8 and 22 in Berkshire Museum's second-floor classroom spaces.
