We are excited to announce the next step in our mission to inspire lifelong learning among children and their caregivers by providing experiential learning programs covering STEAM, health, nature, and the environment. You may have heard that due to the sale of the property on Trout Brook, we have relocated our museum operations. To continue to serve our community, we will be moving our Museum and our Preschool to a temporary location while we continue to develop plans for a new permanent site.
In our temporary home, we will focus on supporting our family audience with engaging hands-on exhibits geared towards children ages 2 to 8 years old.
Membership extensions were processed for all members who were active in August 2022. Memberships were extended for three months. For example, if you had an active membership on September 1, 2022, your membership is now active through December 31, 2022! Dual members, we will not be mailing new membership cards, the museum and nature center can verify your expiration date upon arrival. Reciprocal and Animal Sponsor Members, we will mail new membership cards upon request, please contact our Membership department at shonnell@thechildrensmuseumct.org if you need a new membership card.
If you have questions about the move or your membership, please reach out to Stephanie Honnell or Jennifer Holmes Weston.
