Our museum is a safe, inclusive space for children of all backgrounds, ages, abilities and skin colors to learn through play and make positive memories with their families, friends and neighbors. We celebrate our differences. We know that our community is stronger for them.

Black lives matter. Black children matter. Intolerance and racism are not welcome in our space.

Here are some resources for families to talk about race, cope with injustices and promote racial justice. If you need any other help, message us and we will do our best to connect you with answers🖤
