Miami Children’s Museum
Miami Children’s Museum is a 501(c)(3) non-profit educational institution, which meets the needs of all children in our multicultural community. The Museum offers interactive exhibits, programs and learning materials related to arts, culture and our community. Miami Children’s Museum encourages visitors of all ages to play, learn, imagine and create together.
Miami Children’s Museum is dedicated to enriching the lives of all children by fostering a love of learning through play and empowering children to reach their highest potential. Their mission is to spark curiosity and discovery through playful learning and innovative experiences, celebrating the Arts, Culture, Literacy and STEM.
The Museum’s 56,500 square foot facility is located on Watson Island. It was designed by Arquitectonica International Inc., an award-winning Miami-based architecture and design firm. The building, for and about children, represents the elements of the world; earth, wind, water and fire.
“It is our vision to be a leader in inclusive early childhood education while cultivating a lifelong love of learning.”
Institutional goals include establishing Miami Children’s Museum as a primary center for school readiness, educational enrichment and entertainment for all children and their caregivers. They also aim to build alliances with families, educators, community organizations and promotional partners to meet the developmental needs of all children in the community.
Miami Children’s Museum serves as a model for children’s museum in the 21st century by mobilizing the community and collaborating with civic leaders and organizations to address the needs of children and their families. We partner with other children’s museums, cultural institutions and community and national organizations to highlight topics such as literacy, science, culture, history, careers, environment, and much more through arts programming.
