About Us

Our Mission

The museum is a 501(c)3 nonprofit organization founded in 2001, with a mission to create opportunities that educate, empower, and excite children and families through play while inspiring a lifelong sense of wonder and discovery.

Diversity Statement

The Woodlands Children’s Museum is a cooperative learning environment that provides children with multiethnic and multicultural experiences.  We expect our visitors and partners to honor this global environment, free from discrimination in regard to race, age, gender, physical ability, sexual orientation, family structure, citizenship or social economic background. To encourage acceptance and understanding of individual differences, we pledge:

• to present opportunities for all to play and engage in discovery within a safe and nurturing environment;

• to celebrate cultural and global differences through educational programs, calendar festivities and exhibits; and

• to reach out to the community to ensure that all people feel welcome wherever the museum is represented.

By embracing communication and encouraging interaction among diverse families, The Woodlands Children’s Museum shares in strengthening the bond that begins with our common goal of empowering our next generation.

Our programs are designed to compliment Texas academic standards. Through the programs that are offered through the Outreach Department, we support 21^st century skills of self-direction, critical thinking, invention, collaboration and cultural influence. Additionally, all programs include a “make and take” process oriented project that extends the learning experience.

Initiatives

Museums for All: a signature access program to encourage families of all backgrounds to visit museums regularly and build lifelong museum habits. The program will enable low-income families to visit The Woodlands Children’s Museum for a minimal fee of $3 per person with the presentation of a LoneStar (EBT) card. The Museums for All initiative represents a long stride toward the goal of reaching more children and parents, especially those living in poverty, with the valuable learning resources of museums. Children’s museums, with their unique focus on bringing children, families, and communities together, are committed to providing access to all.
