Enrich the lives of 1,000,000 more children.
Provide hands-on play that sparks imagination, innovation, and discovery.
Activate the Mobile Children’s Museum in more San Diego County Schools.
Ensuring that every child, regardless of location or circumstance, experiences the wonder of discovery through accessible, immersive learning.
Elevate early learning through enhanced exhibits and education experiences.
Redefine what’s possible in early childhood education while keeping inclusivity and accessibility at the heart of our programming.

“Spaces like the Museum are important for kids because it gives them that place to be curious, have fun, and learn. When kids go to school, they don’t really want to go to school, they have to. When a kid comes [to the Museum], they like going here because they’re having fun and learning at the same time.”

“When I first visited the Museum, it was an amazing space for myself and my little brother to explore and play, and to be curious and learn. When I was figuring out what I wanted to do later in life and finally settled down with childhood education, I realized that I could come back to the children’s museum and help foster what those educators did for me when I was first visiting and allow myself to do that as well for other kids.”
