Programs

Each day at The Children's Museum, Seattle our educators ignite imaginations with programs designed help kids discover, learn and ask questions. We know it's informal learning, but you can just call it fun!

Birth to 5 year old programs

Each morning we offer programs that are designed for 10 month olds to 5 year olds and their caregivers.  Our programs focus on developmental milestones and school readiness but provide varied activities to meet children at their current skill level.  Caregivers and children can take sign language classes, get messy with art projects or enjoy a storytime.

 6 to 10 year old programs

The Museum and our educational staff provide a variety of programs throughout the day for children ages 6 - 10 that augments the learning that happens in school or during homeschool programs.  Science, Math, Arts, Culture, Literacy, and so much more is wrapped into purposeful play.  Designing costumes, putting on plays, running science experiments, there's so much fun to be had!
