Why a children’s museum?
There are so many reasons “why a children’s museum”. In our changing environment of electronic stimuli, busy parents and educational cut backs, the public and private sectors have a responsibility to take an active role in educational projects for our children. Children’s museums provide an educational avenue for parents and children to interact with each other. They are places that cultivate and enrich the soil for lifelong learning. These features will, in turn, help to develop responsible, intelligent adults for our future.

What are some of the exhibits that will be in the museum?
Our main objective is to develop exhibits and activities that promote “hands on” learning experiences that are fun and memorable. Our design chair has literally traveled the world observing the most popular exhibits in Children’s Museums to children. He and his committee have taken the best of the best and have adapted them to fit in our museum.

Will there be programs for the underserved children in our community?
Most definitely. We will have programs and special days for the lower income youth groups in our community. We have already teamed up with the Boys and Girls Club to help with our groundbreaking ceremony. We plan to offer special days free of charge for these groups and scholarships for children whose families cannot afford membership.

What is your agreement with the city?
The lease agreement between the board and the City, states that the board will be given a $1 a year renewable lease for 30 years. Any further financial responsibility is that of the board.
