Family Resource Center

Parenting is exciting, unnerving, wonderful, frustrating, astonishing, and joyous- sometimes all within the space of an hour!

The Family Resource Center provides support to children and the adults who care for them. It is a cozy space within the museum where adults and children can read or play quietly, and nursing mothers and babies can rest comfortably and semi-privately.

Child-care providers and early childhood educators can participate in training sessions and professional development activities. Parents and caregivers can use the many books, periodicals, and resource guides, or go on the internet to access the most up-to-date information on issues concerning families. Through workshops, events, support groups, training, and other gatherings, the Museum celebrates and supports our community's children and families.
