The Opportunity To Dream
Do you remember what you wanted to be when you grew up? A firefighter? A captain of a ship? A doctor? A teacher? A mom?
“This is one of the most important investments we can make for our children and community.”
John Kress
The Children's Museum of Green Bay is affordable and allows, if for only an hour or so, children to escape into the world of the possibilities, to delve deep into the world of imagination and what ifs. The new Children's Museum of Green Bay is a unique place in our community where kids go to dream.
The truth is: children who grow up in poverty and stress rarely have the luxury of dreaming. The reality of their current situations extinguishes thoughts of hope, drive, and a better future. Where can these children experience the wonders of science, the arts, and the humanities? The Children's Museum of Green Bay allows, at least for a while, children to escape from economic and social hardships into a world of possibilities. The new Children's Museum of Green Bay is a unique place in our community where kids can go to dream.
The Children's Museum of Green Bay is a place where all families can play and learn together in an engaging, appealing setting. Every healthy community needs a children's museum. Many reputable community organizations in our area, such as the Einstein Project, Next Door Theatre, and the Brown County Library, have chosen the Children's Museum of Green Bay as an ideal setting to introduce science, the arts, and humanities to children of all economic and cultural backgrounds.
Stimulating the Excitement of Learning
Development in the early years depends on providing young children with exposure to new and stimulating experiences; caring, responsive adults, and safe and nurturing communities. The Children's Museum of Green Bay encourages children to learn according to their own developmental readiness, in their own styles, by offering hands-on activities that allow them to tinker, experiment, and observe. No child fails here.
The multi-sensory exhibits enhance curiosity, teach problem solving, and encourage social interaction and communication. It helps children learn about the world around them; whether it's running the grocery store, building a new house, or cruising under the sea in a submarine. As boys and girls freely interact with the exhibits, they develop curiosity and creativity, leading their own learning experiences.
This Museum asks children to "Please touch." In this safe, creative, and educational environment, children develop self-confidence and social skills and experience different perspectives through role-playing.
