Mission:

The Westchester Children’s Museum is a learning laboratory providing children, families and school groups the opportunity to nurture curiosity, enhance knowledge and ignite imagination through creative hands-on exploration. The WCM is committed to broadening knowledge of the arts, the environment, multiculturalism, and the local and global communities in an educational and recreational atmosphere.

Currently in the final design phase, the Westchester Children’s Museum will serve children in Westchester, Fairfield, Rockland, Putnam, the Bronx and beyond.

-- Vibrant interactive, safe settings where children and adults can come together to interact with each other and others in their community

-- Hands-on exhibits and programs designed to stimulate creative thinking and problem-solving skills

-- Unique experiences accessible to all learning styles and abilities

-- An exciting new venue for school trips, including pre- and post-visit programs

-- Educational Resource Center
