Starting kindergarten is a big milestone—and we're here to help make it a little easier. 💙

Join us for Kindergarten, Here We Come!, a FREE family event designed to help incoming kindergartners build confidence before the first day of school while giving families the resources and support they need.

Through fun, hands-on learning stations, children will practice kindergarten readiness skills like recognizing letters, writing their name, counting, following directions, taking turns, and more.

Families can also:
📚 Receive a FREE book after completing all five learning stations
🎒 Take home free school supplies and giveaways
📂 Pick up a family resource folder
👩‍🏫 Meet local elementary teachers
🤝 Connect with community organizations

💙 Know a family with an incoming kindergartner? Share this post so they don't miss this FREE event!

It is summer time. It is hot outside and children are excited to be on summer break. We love having the museum bustling with young learners, but a friendly reminder that we expect museum visitors to be respectful of museum staff, our exhibits, and our Code of Conduct.

Museums do not allow food or drink in the galleries due to the potential for damage to the exhibits. The Pensacola Children's Museum is not excluded from that policy. We allow food or drink only in the Party Room.

Thank you for allowing us to be a part of your child's informal education.
