Our Mission

The Children’s Learning Museum explores the world through the eyes of children by making learning an exciting, multi-sensory experience and encouraging creativity, discovery and curiosity. Interactive exhibits and innovative programs are designed to foster a passion for lifelong learning and provide an educational resource for the entire community, especially families and schools.

The Santa Cruz Children’s Learning Museum is committed to enriching educational opportunities for all children through outreach programs in literacy, music, art, science, peace, unity and esteem, and to building a welcoming environment and an inclusive community where children and adults are encouraged to learn from each other.

We celebrate imagination and strive to activate children’s intellectual and creative potential, strengthening their appreciation and understanding of the self, other people, and the world around us.
