A children’s museum offers a unique community resource.
Schools benefit.
Current educational standards require today's teachers to cover a tremendous amount of material in a very streamlined manner. Real learning takes time. Educators have long known the importance of hands-on experiences in facilitating the learning process. A local children's museum is a valuable resource to teachers by providing interactive exhibits to support and extend classroom work.
Valley Children’s Museum aligns itself closely with local educators to offer exhibits that enrich grade level instruction. The museum facility will also serve as a center for family-oriented, educational programs, clubs and special events. Other area children’s museums are too far away (between 30-45 minutes drive time) to substantially contribute to this community.
Valley Children’s Museum will provide an opportunity for children and families to learn about what makes the Valley a special place to learn and grow. It will reflect the lives of those who visit the facility and be filled with the history and exceptional nature of the region. Kids, their families, schools and community explore the science, art and environment of our unique region through hands-on exhibits and programs.
