About this organization
Mission
The museum’s mission is to transform communities through innovative, child-centered learning. The museum responds to six community priorities: 1) foster the development of Greater Houston's significant child population; 2) increase and support parents' engagement in their children's learning; 3) provide learning experiences that reinforce and supplement school classroom instruction; 4) reduce the effects of poverty on learning; 5) serve a multicultural, multilingual population; and 6) promote workforce preparedness through the development of 21st century learning skills.
About
The museum employs credentialed educators who manage thirteen bilingual (English/Spanish) exhibit galleries, an on-site branch of the Houston Public Library, and programming that changes weekly. These exhibits/programs are focused on the development of literacy and engagement in hands-on, inquiry-based investigations of science, technology, engineering, arts/design and math (i.e., the STEAM disciplines). The museum served 742,000 visitors in FY19 and is rebuilding to the pre-Harvey norm of 800,000 visitor annually. One-third of visitors receive free admission via weekly free family nights and the open doors free museum admission passes distributed to low-income families by community-based partners at 1,060+ locations across Greater Houston.
