Made possible through a generous grant from the Norma F. Pfreim Foundation, Preschool Power is a hands-on exhibit designed to engage, excite and educate children ages 0-3 years old. The exhibit features colorful, soft play structures carefully designed to teach age-appropriate motor skills such as balance and coordination and engage the senses of sight, hearing and touch.

The play structures encourage imagination, make-believe, and exploration.  While parents and children play, they naturally experience colors and shapes and observe the physics of gravity. They also practice spatial perception, noticing what is bigger, what fits where, and which shapes roll better.  

Separated by a partition from the rest of the exhibits, Preschool Power provides an environment where children three and under, and their parents, can explore and play without intrusion from older kids.  The exhibit space is enhanced with eco-friendly, child-safe rubber flooring.  The environment is made safer by being a no-shoes zone, with cubbies and benches provided outside the exhibit.
