Current Actions: Over its history, the Institute of Museum and
Library Services (IMLS) has invested in a wide range of projects
supporting research and practice in early childhood education through
grant making and special initiatives. This project builds off the
Boston Children's Museum's (BCM) and IMLS's previous work in piloting
School Readiness Project in South Carolina and Virginia by scaling it
into Iowa, Mississippi, and New Mexico. It addresses persistent gaps in
early childhood education and school readiness and aims to amplify the
strength of organizations serving children and families by forming
networks between and across these organizations. The purpose of this
data collection effort is to obtain a holistic view of the museum
target audience and needs for capacity building support, identify
potential gaps in the suite of current offerings, and define both
opportunities and partnerships for new and expanded offerings.
This action is to seek approval for the information collection for
the Building a National Network of Museums and Libraries for School
Readiness Project for the next three years.
