Our purpose is to encourage kids and adults alike to embrace active, lifelong learning. We create and maintain museum spaces, events and programs that are inclusive, engaging, playful and fun for ALL of the region’s kids and families. We envision a region where children, families, students and educators have a wide network of facilities to support them in learning, engagement, play and quality time together. We will do our part to be part of that network. Our goals are to: - Build relationships and interconnectedness with the early learning community Connect to Seattle’s varied and diverse neighborhoods; - Grow the DNA and lineage of multiculturalism into a new focus on exhibits that have equity, inclusion, diversity, visibility, access and anti-racism built in; - Set the stage for kids to build competency through engagement, opportunities, interactions, and hands-on experiences; - Renew a deep commitment to fostering literacy, language, numeracy and communication skills; - Focus on art, culture, creativity, literacy, innovation and self-actualization for kids.
