Bronx Children's Museum
The mission of the Bronx Children's Museum is to inspire children and families to learn about themselves and the diversity and richness of their surroundings, as well as the world beyond.
As an emerging museum, we have piloted programs since 2006 in some of the most under-served areas of the Bronx and have touched the lives of thousands of children, caregivers, and family members. The Museum provides affordable, accessible, interactive, inquiry-based early childhood programs and exhibits for children from Pre-K to 3rd grade, promoting literacy, arts, social studies, health, history, science, greening and sustainability. Our overall aim is to be relevant, exciting, and inspiring.
The Museum is way ahead of most start-ups in that it has been piloting well-received programs outside its walls and obtaining the feedback of its stakeholders for the past nine years in whatever it does. It has partnered with more than 182 schools, and arts, environmental, and health groups and institutions in the last three years. In addition, with the donation of the Museum’s bus in 2011, the Museum has reached more than 30,000 people to date, traveling to 99 festivals, parades, parks and 48 schools in the past two years alone. The Museum’s advisory group of more than 50 professionals and community leaders has also given the Museum credibility in the community and in the education arena.
