Museum at Prairiefire (MAP), we are opening Kansas City's first Museum based preschool right in Johnson County. This groundbreaking preschool for children ages 3 to Kindergarten Ready will give young students the opportunity to learn, explore and discover their world through artifact collections, exhibitions, and programs as well as exposure to our region’s own natural history. Our 3-pronged approach is Kindergarten Readiness, STEAM, and Social-Emotional Development. The Museum at Prairiefire was founded in 2010 through a unique collaboration with the American Museum of Natural History, as well as with other cultural and educational institutions across the nation.  The Museum engages visitors and students with world-class exhibitions, authentic natural history, educational programming, and significant STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts, and Math) opportunities for all.  We have amassed a large library of hands-on project-based STEAM lessons taught by our Scientists and Educators.  The PERFECT location to educate tomorrow's generation in STEAM.
SCIENCE: Natural universe TECHNOLOGY: Tools and innovative devices uses and enhanced abilities ENGINEERING: Purposeful innovation, creation, and analysis ARTS: Humanities, ethics, ideals, expression MATH: Fact organize, numbers, counting
