Find Us at Soar in 4!
Soar in 4 is a FREE monthly event open to all Manatee County families. This program is designed to promote early childhood literacy and school readiness for children ages 0-4.
Soar in 4's mission is to ensure all children have the opportunities and support they need for success in school and beyond. By giving families the resources to be their child's best teacher at home, Soar in 4 helps parents building a strong foundation of learning.
The Ag Museum is one of many institutions who hosts a table at Soar in 4, providing engaging educational play.
Soar in 4 is typically held the first Wednesday of every month from 5:30 - 7 PM at the Bishop Museum of Science and Nature. Families will leave with a new book and accompanying activities to continue the fun at home.

Explore the Soar Lab!
The Soar in 4 program has opened the all-new Soar Lab. Located at the Sara Scott Harllee Center, the lab gives children and families hands-on opportunities to develop early learning skills and explore a variety of educational experiences. Admission is free for qualifying families.
Children who visit museums and hands-on learning spaces early in life tend to develop stronger skills in reading, math, and science. At the Soar Lab, kids can build prekindergarten and kindergarten readiness skills through interactive learning spaces featuring art, tinkering, engineering, and outdoor discovery areas.
Resources for families and caregivers are also available to help support their involvement in early childhood education.
