Be sure to bring the kids on November 27 to experience PNC Bank’s Mobile Learning Adventure, a traveling exhibit that provides families an opportunity to learn about the importance of early childhood education while engaging in fun experiences together.

Your family will enjoy fun activities, learning experiences and great giveaways from 3:00 - 8:00 pm at DC Alexander Park, located at 501 Seabreeze Boulevard on Fort Lauderdale Beach.

What is PNC Bank’s Mobile Learning Adventure?

Quality learning in a child’s early years is essential for their long-term success. That’s why PNC Bank developed Grow Up Great, a 10-year, $100 million investment in school readiness to help prepare children from birth to age five for success in school and life. Founded by The PNC Financial Services Group, Grow Up Great is considered to be one of the most comprehensive corporate-based school readiness programs in the nation. The program provides leadership, advocacy, resources and volunteers to assist parents, caregivers and communities in their efforts to increase the potential for young children to succeed.

PNC’s Grow Up Great offers a myriad of resources that are deployed into the communities PNC Bank serves. One of these is called The Mobile Learning Adventure or “MLA”, which is a traveling exhibit that provides families an opportunity to learn about the importance of early childhood education while engaging in fun experiences together.

Aside from a wide variety of fun activities designed for children and families, PNC’s Mobile Learning Adventure includes the “When I Grow Up” photo station, where children can dress up as what they want to be when they grow up. Parents can also receive activity books and learning kits that demonstrate how to take everyday moments and turn them into learning opportunities. There’s no limit to the fun!

You’ll be able to enjoy everything PNC’s Mobile Learning Adventure has to offer on Saturday, November 27th! Join the fun at the City of Fort Lauderdale’s Cinema by the Sea, presented by PNC Bank. The PNC Mobile Learning Adventure will be onsite the last Saturday in November only with activities, experiences, and lots of goodies for kids and families to enjoy! Be sure to stop by DC Alexander Park, located just a few blocks from the movie site, from 3:00 pm – 8:00 pm. We look forward to seeing you there!
