INTRODUCING: BUSHNELL BIGS & LITTLES
Learn more about The Bushnell's first ever arts program for preschool kids and parents! Combining the best of both worlds, Bushnell Bigs and Littles offers an opportunity for digital and experiential learning for preschool aged children in a uniquely creative environment that includes their favorite “Big” person! Early artistic exposure and exploration gives young children the ability to establish a foundation for developing strong physical, cognitive, and social-emotional awareness that will extend well beyond their initial years. This adult-child, artistic teaching model provides exclusive access to first-run episodes of Horace B’s Creative Classroom, (The Bushnell’s digital learning product) coupled with live and in-person workshops led by The Bushnell’s accomplished and renowned, Master Teaching Artists!

BUSHNELL EDUCATION PROGRAMS
For over 20 years, The Bushnell has affected the lives of over 400,000 young people with award-winning programs that extend beyond the stage, into the classroom and throughout the community. Programs such as the nationally recognized PARTNERS® program use the arts to teach core curriculum with a focus on literacy, as well as develop each young person’s artistic and literary talents. These fundamental goals extend throughout all of The Bushnell's programming and are particularly evident in Bushnell’s Children’s Theatre, the CT Slam Poetry Program, The Noah Webster JAZZicians instrumentalist program, and the full-scholarship Ensign-Darling vocal program.
