The past year has changed the direction of our world, but also children’s museums across our country. We have had to reimagine how “hands-on” will look like, how children can interact with exhibits and each other and as a non profit in infancy stage, how to operate as a business. Our plan for a 2020 launch of our mobile museum has also been reimagined due to the pandemic. We have spent the past year waiting for the opportunity to provide resources in a safe way for our community.
Hands-on learning is critical for our children. Having resources and opportunities in our community will be even more important as we continue to navigate through our new landscape and the recovery. We hope to be a large part of the healing for our children, families and community of Southern Maryland.

So, although we have been quiet, we have been working hard. The best is yet to come! Stay Tuned for exciting updates.

🌈 who here is a fan of growth mindset?
-
If you’ve been here a bit… you know that we are! 🙋🏻‍♀️🙋🏼‍♀️🙋🏼‍♀️Children (and adults) with a growth mindset tend to embrace challenges, persist in the face of difficulty, and welcome criticism/feedback.
-
A growth mindset doesn’t always come easy, though… especially during the stressful times that every parent is feeling as school heads back virtually or in-person. It’s easier than ever to feel paralyzed with overwhelm 🌪
-
👉🏻One of the most important ways you can help your child start this school year off on the best foot possible is to model your own growth mindset… because, for better or worse, children never fail to imitate!
-
Grab one of these mantras that speaks to you, and speak it to yourself and out loud often. Let your child hear you acknowledge the challenges of these times, but also hear the hope and confidence in your words.
