Children’s Museum of Phoenix launches preschool, literacy center for downtown community
- The Children's Museum of Phoenix is expanding and renovating its downtown building, adding a preschool and an early literacy center.
- The preschool, run with the YMCA, will serve 70 to 80 children from infant age up and is set to open next fall.
- Museum leaders say downtown Phoenix is a childcare desert and that Arizona underfunds education, so the museum is stepping in as a learning lab for other preschools.
