Kids with curious tendencies and explorer mindsets will be enthralled with the teachings of the Smithsonian Early Enrichment Center. The SEEC teaches children facts related to the multiple D.C. Smithsonian museums. After instilling those facts, the SEEC physically SHOWS kids what they learned about, by way of the museums. MOMS BEWARE: Selections for the SEEC are done by application and lottery…so get your kids signed up for the SEEC, ASAP!
