Children's Education

Robyn Lane Joseph and Bonnie Pope, Co-Chairs

Children's Education - teaching children about Central Park - a program of the Women's Committee The Children's Education Committee works in conjunction with the Central Park Conservancy's Education Department to introduce public and private school children to Central Park's wonders. Every Wednesday during the school year, docents go into the schools in Manhattan to take students on a "virtual field trip" of the Park, where, from their desks, students learn about the Park's natural wildlife, ecosystems, architecture, and history. This interactive slide tour shows the familiar and unfamiliar Park. Docents discuss students' Park experiences and their role as Park stewards. The program provides an exciting educational experience for school children and is a wonderful introduction to other Conservancy programs.

This program is available on Wednesdays at 10:00 am. To register, please send your requested date (choose two) along with your name, school name and address, work and home phone, grade, and number of students to:
