Welcome!
Thank you for your interest in
the South Bay Children's Museum. We are thrilled to bring such a positive
and beneficial resource to San Diego's South Bay Community. We have lots of
ideas and information to share so please take a look around and start to
experience the energy and enthusiasm that continues to surround the South Bay
Children's Museum.
Our Mission
Our mission is to
empower children
of all ages, backgrounds and abilities by providing
interactive play
and
learning experiences
in math, science, and the arts, that
connect children
to their
families,
their
community
and the
world.
A Resource for
Families
The South Bay
Children's Museum serves as a resource to children and families by creating
environments that inspire play, curiosity and a love of learning within the
museum and at home. Families have access to hands-on activities through the
museum exhibits and programs, as well as through resources that provide
inexpensive, easy and educational at-home activities.
A Resource for
Educators
We serve as a resource
to the educational community by creating learning environments and providing
programs that bring to life the principles that are taught in the classroom and
extend them beyond those walls into the world that children inhabit. Each museum
exhibit and program is designed to meet the California Board of Education
content standards through engaging hands-on learning activities. Educators can
engage their students in museum activities as well as access lesson plans with
activities that can be conducted in their classrooms.
A Resource for
the Community
We serve as a resource
to the community through collaboration with diverse organizations who share our
mission of service to children and families.
