There's no "i" in MUSEUM, but if there were, it might stand for IMPACT!

The Children's Museum in Easton is much more than a fun place to play and learn. It's a community resource with impact for special people and programs across our region.

These unique programs include activities for families with young children on the autism spectrum, for families and children dealing with literacy-based language development needs for an early childhood intervention, and mentoring program for school readiness for children from disadvantaged and underserved communities.

Family Autism Nights are special evenings when the Museum is open to only families with autistic children so we can provide a chance for them to explore the Museum in a less overwhelming atmosphere.

On select mornings, before the Museum is open to the public, we partner with South Bay's Early Intervention Program- an early childhood program which identifies strengths and needs to ensure that infants, toddlers, and their families reach their full potential.

And for many years, the Museum has hosted a wonderful program provided by the state Department of Education and delivered through Community Partnerships for Children aimed at literacy and language based assessment and support to ensure kindergarten readiness for all children.

If there were an "i" in Museum, in addition to IMPACT, it might also stand for INVESTMENT- the investment we make to help children reach their full potential and become lifelong learners.
