exhibits- exhibits allow children the opportunity to learn through discovery. We set the stage for learning. During the past year, we continued to improve our inventors workshop, began improvements on our camera obscura exhibit, debuted a new exhibit called imagination playground. All exhibits and programs focus on our four primary learning areas: science,early childhood education, multicultural education and arts.

educational- the museum provides educational programming for children and families through on site programs and outreach to schools and community organizations. The programs are directly tied to the exhibits. New programs include healthy eating initiatives and some new educational and theatre workshops.

theatre- provides opportunities for young audiences to see a show and young actors to develop their skills. Children between the ages of 8 and 15 can audition to be company actors and participate in production.
